Brennt seit 120 Jahren praktisch ohne Unterbrechung, wenn das nicht nachhaltig ist:
Centennial Light
The Centennial Light is the world's longest-lasting light bulb, burning since 1901, and almost never switched off. It is at 4550 East Avenue, Livermore, California, and maintained by the Livermore-Pleasonton Fire Department.
The Centennial Light was originally a 30-watt bulb, but is now very dim, emitting about the same light as a 4-watt night light. The hand-blown, carbon-filament common light bulb was invented by Adolphe Chaillet, a French engineer who filed a patent for this technology. It was manufactured in Shelby, Ohio, by the Shelby Electric Company in the late 1890s; many just like it still exist and can be found functioning.
