Weekend Musings - Longest Burning Light Bulb

The Longest Burning Light Bulb in history is located at Fire Station #6 in Livermore, California. It was turned off a few times in its life to be relocated; otherwise, it has been burning for 109 years.

Other bulbs making history:

  1. A bulb located in the Stockyards Museum in Fort Worth, Texas has been burning since 1908.
  2. Another bulb in a New York City hardware store had been burning since 1912, but it is unknown if it is still burning.
  3. A bulb in a firehouse at Mangum, Oklahoma has been in operation since 1926.
  4. A fifth bulb located at the Martin & Newby Electrical Shop in Ipswich, England as dated from 1930, and burned out in 2001.
