Talk:Longest-lasting light bulbs

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a very unsatisfactory article! It has no discussion of, or links to info about, what makes bulbs last long (operating at lower voltage and having very stable conditions, not being turned on and off), and which types of bulbs last the longest (LED).-69.87.200.219 00:04, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

I agree LED's are the longest lasting light bulbs This has many flawsJasonIqbal 23:47, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

There are Mercury Vapor bulbs estimated to have 300,000 hours on them at replacement. The people on lighting-gallery.net know of a few. They have a forum at [1] 66.114.93.6 (talk) 16:42, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] comment

"In terms of consistantly longest lasting light bulbs L.E.D.'s are the longest lasting bulbs (most last 60,000 or 100,000 hours), but are not 'True bulbs' in a sense that they are not made of glass"-JasonIqbal 00:00, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Motives?

Is there a human sentimentality towards light bulbs that exceed their lifespans? Or perhaps to devices in general? Is it just me or is this a common emotion for people to feel? Pendragon39 05:39, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
