Thanks for the information jackten47 really helpful thanks againjackten47 wrote: Described in the Guinness Book of World Record's as the oldest light bulb in the world, this bulb just celebrated its 110th birthday on June 18,2011. The Livermore, Ca. Station 6 firehouse is home to this record
setting light bulb.
The 60 watt light bulb that just won't quit was installed in 1901 and has burned continuously, except for a few blackouts and some outlet moves, at it's home home in the Livermore Ca., fire station. It's used as a nightlight over the firetrucks and is never turned off.

Re: Worlds Oldest Lightbulb
Interesting piece of article. It is puzzling me though how it could last that long. I reckon that there is some component in it that charges itself up so that it can supply its own form of energy as its maintenance.
It can be a little dangerous though considering the hazards posted by light bulbs especially if they already reach that age when they are not that efficient any more.
