Some people think that the Livermore one has lasted so long because it's never turned off. Because when you turn something off, sometimes it's like a surge of electricity and stuff that can damage the filament, whereas this has always had four watts.

Other times Livermore came up
Some tragic person has just kept to use light bulb. Pretty much, yeah. It's called the Edda Swan Lightbulb. It was first turned on in 1883 in Haitian in England, and it's owned by someone called Beth Crook, or at least it was when I read this article. Yeah, they don't really turn it on very often. I think that's sensible. Special occasions. Some people think that the Livermore one has lasted so long.

We've never mentioned, actually, the longest burning light bulb in the world. which is kind of incredible, the Livermore Centennial Lightbulb. It's been burning non-stop brackets with a couple of caveats, closed brackets, since 1901. I think one of the keys to its success is that it's four watts. It has to be on 24 hours a day because it's in a fire station, so it's to provide a bit of illumination for fire engines.
