The lightbulb everyone always cites in the story is hanging in a California fire department. It’s been running nearly continuously for over 120 years and racked up over a million hours of operation.

Impressive right?

Yes.

Despite nominally being a 60 W lamp, it draws only 4 watts… and is a lot dimmer than you’d expect from a 4 W lamp due to its poor efficiency.

You have been mislead about lightbulbs

I have not been mislead, I want to buy the enteral 4W night light and the cartel has prevented me from getting this option.

that doesn’t make any sense.

Too bad.

(Good factual article though, the author just had the audacity to tell me what I want, which I hate.)
