Light bulb working for 117 years

Andy Millar
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 smiley

I do like reliable technology...


Cheers,

    Not bad for a hand-blown, carbon-filament light bulb running on 120VAC. It was manufactured by the Shelby Electric Company in Shelby, OH. You can still buy working examples on eBay!
