Light bulb working for 117 years

Andy Millar over 5 years ago

Just to brighten up a winter's Monday morning (for those of us in the Northern hemisphere), another thread on these forums has just reminded me of this light bulb which has been lit for 117 years...there's even a live webcam so that you can check it's still alight

I do like reliable technology...

Cheers,

If all light bulbs lasted 117 years wouldn't all the light bulbs manufacturers be out of business :-)?
