Teaser Tuesday! October 7, 2014

I've got an old classic for everyone today. Enjoy!

Note: If you could all please input your answers using the previously noted html code it will allow others to answer without having a spoiler. Copy it verbatim and do not stick any " or ' in your answer and it will work.

Question

You are in a room with three light switches, each of which controls one of three light bulbs in the next room. Your task is to determine which switch controls which bulb. All lights are initially off, and you can't see into one room from the other. You are allowed only one chance to enter the room with the light bulbs. How can you determine which lightswitch goes with which light bulb?

Good Luck!
