perplexing lightbulb situation. changing a bulb.

new to me house.

it has some Nutone hood vent. it looks nice, and appears fairly powerful.

it has two screw in light bulbs. looks like a standard bulb, only clear and smaller. one was burned out. i told myself, "oh, i got this". changed the bulb. no workie. as a matter of fact the other one burned out as well.

i changed both and failed. no light.

i took a giant regular sized incandecent bulb, screwed it in. and it works. the lady left a few florescent bulbs, and they work. i climbed up on a ladder screwed in the applicance bulbs i thought were burned out and they work.

something about that hood vent wont let the small clear bulbs work.

this barely seems like a viable reason to shuttle the thing out the back door and to buy a Vent-a-hood..but i cant wrap my mind around it.

so in summary. every bulb is good. the appliance bulbs dont work in the applicance. non applicance bulbs work in the hood.
