Readers will be amazed to know a light blub has been burning since 1901 and it’s still on in a Firestation located in California.
The Centennial Bulb will celebrate its 110th anniversary of illumination next Saturday. The light bulb has been connected to an emergency generator system for the last 35 years, so even in a blackout, the bulb won’t burn out.
Although the light bulb did experience a few hiccup from power outages in 1903, 1937 and 1976, the Centennial Bulb has been burning “with no interruptions since [it’s attachment to the generator].”
Keep on burning Centennial Bulb! Maybe it’ll last another 110 years and someone else will be sitting at a computer writing up a story and linking back to this one.
