How many Precision bassists does it take to change a light bulb.

I just have to know: Do you bring a back-up bulb with you to shows? Why or why not? While on that topic, is it cool or trashy for me to put stickers on my bulb? I can see both sides to that debate.

Also, I really feel that my bulb is just too bright. I'm looking for something more subdued. What about a black light? Good/bad experiences? Thoughts about its effect on the multi-colored unicorn? Do you feel it would be appropriate for my Zeppelin tribute band "In the Light"?
 
I have a cabinet with four x 10 W incandescents. My guitard is blinding me with his four x 12 W cab. If I want to put out more light, would i be best off with a second 4 x 10? Would it be ok to hook up my old single 15 W, or would that cause phase issues? Also, if i decide to go with a new fluorescent cab, is it bad to mix incandescents with fluorescents?
