side note, sorry for straying, I think this is really cool. Personally, I like that old fashoned orange glow. I have tons of little 11 watt exit sign bulbs in lamps all throughout my house. I was at a furniture store once that had these neat bulbs in all of their lamps for sale. They are kinda hard to describe, but, it almost looked like they had 2 filaments. They intersected in an almost heart shaped pattern, and glowed that orange like color. The woman running the store didn't know where they had gotten them, and I didn't feel like buying a $200.00 lamp just to get a bulb. Am I crazy or has anyone else ever seen anything like this? An "Edison" bulb of sorts. Any info appreciated.


They had a party for the bulb when it had a milestone birthday. I bet 1,000,000 hours (roughly) would be a neat excuse to have a big town party. I know that I am definately going to be sad when/if this ever burns out. It's a neat landmark to have. The worlds oldest lightbulb. kinda cool [Linked Image]
