no, no...that would be conservators.  It would take three curators.  One to
change the bulb, one to distract the conservator so he/she wouldn't see
that the socket wasn't archivally stable, and one to secret away the old
bulb so the registrar couldn't see that an object was being removed without
all of the requisite deaccessioning paperwork.
