None. By the time lightbulbs were invented, Hobbits had retired from the outside world, and so they have no lightbulbs.

What was the Hobbits favorite food?

What kind of orc does ballet?

Just about all of them, after the War of the Ring. Having been thoroughly defeated in battle, the orcs decided that they would have to drastically alter to direction of their race, and achieve greatness through cultural and technological pursuits, rather than through the martial spirit. Ballet, poetry cafes, sculpture, and the art of grilling fine steaks were all characteristics of the post-war orcish culture, ironically rejuvenated and even reborn by crushing defeat. The War of the Ring was the greatest thing ever to happen to the orcs. Orc scholars and politicians have called it "The Great Gift".

If most hobbits did not give Frodo as much recognition as they should have, since he kept mostly to himself and avoided fighting during the battle of Bywater, how did he manage to get elected as mayor?

Most people don't know this, but Frodo had secret dealing with the black market, which kept many Hobbits happy.
