not breaking but the sizzling sound just before it gives up, the little poff and the resonance in the glass right afterward

I'm giving this a try.

used fm sequence for the buzz - tapped a lightbulb with a pencil eraser for the glass.

thanks, i like the sizzle especially but it isnt really what im after. ill have another go at miking up drilled bulbs in the weekend. post it here if i get anything good.

That's ok...

You win some... you lose some.

Why not destroying a real light bulb by overvolting it?

-Erdie

i got it planned,
drilled hole in one and miked it up but it just wouldnt blow. when i flickered the switch the electrical spikes from my condensor mic were bigger than the sound. so i gave it up for the day, when i got back next day and turned the light on i heard it started sizzling and ran for my portable mic with batteries (think the spikes came thru the power somehow)) but it burst before i got back. but im giving it another go and am tryin to get hold of some stuff to overvoltage one to death.

Wow, hopefully your efforts will pay off. I'd like to hear this.

@FreqMan: nice fizz/sizzle sound by the way.

the same here.
