We bought our house almost 9 years ago, last night when I was coming home I was fumbling for my front door key. I looked up at the light socket and noticed there was not a light bulb in there. And I thought to myself have we ever tried a light bulb in there? Well apparently not, I put a bulb in it, hit the switch and wouldn't you know? Let there be light... that was 8 Halloween nights where we sat out with a chargeable light, many visitors and orders no light. 4 adults have lived in this house for almost a decade and none of us ever tried a light bulb. We are idiots. Lol. Merry Christmas every one, and don't forget to purchase light bulbs.
TL;DR we, 4 adults, have lived in our house for 9 years and never thought to put a light bulb in our front porch light.
