A Linkedin debate over light bulbs vs lamps

We recently published an information piece about whether you call a light source a lamp or a light bulb.   In the eyes of our NIC EIC and Selected Accredited electricians, the fixture holds the lamp and the lamp is what provides the light.

Over the years, like with so many other aspects of life, terminology and how we refer to things has evolved; so while it should be referred to as a lamp, we know that the vast majority of the UK will refer to it as a light bulb.

But we decided to create a poll on our Linkedin page to find out what everyone else thought.
