I work in the industry, and the correct term is a lamp, stupid.

As an ex-insider, 'lightbulb' is perfectly correct. 'Light bulb', though, is both imprecise and inaccurate, as it could also refer to number of non-lightbulb bulbs.

Pffft, young whippersnappers with their light bulb lamp whatchamacallits. In my day, we used to light donkeys on fire in order to see what we were doing. Try keepin' those donkeys in one place while you're trying to find the outhouse. It wasn't easy, let me tell you.

I simply can't believe you guys always bad mouth the 40w bulb sockets... "there are no good bulbs for the bulb socket!" Are you crazy? There are so many different and interesting bulbs out there.

And let's not forget the 20w emulation!

Dude, seriously, do you own stock in the 40w bulb sockets? We're tired of your bias.

The invention of the lightbulb, light-bulb, and/or lamp historically has been attributed to one, Thomas Alva Edison. This is actually a propaganda campaign run by big businesses and the U.S. government to alter history and discredit the the actual British inventor, Joseph Wilson Swan. The current administration is actively giving big dollar contracts to firms that help fund this cornicopia of lies and deceit.
