I have a lightbulb in our bathroom that’s been working for over 20 years

Now this is a thread I can get behind.

Your wife is secretly screwing behind your back.

I noticed that you still have the same light bulb.

Anybody else experience a bulb like this?

Had one in a hallway that was still working when the family moved out, 20+ years in that house and that light bulb was never changed. It was a 130V rated bulb though, which might be what you have. Thicker tungsten element and more supports.

I really hate the bright LED bulbs that are on every shelf these days. I just want a soft white light that has a yellowish tint and gives the room a warm feeling.

Our LED lights last a long time.

Those damn recessed cans in the kitchen seem to go out once a year.

I have a fixture in my kitchen where the bulb has lasted for years. Thank god too because it looks like there's roaches and shite in there. frick all that.

Your wife’s boyfriend has probably been changing it all these years.

If you put a light on a dimmer and put 80-100 volts instead of 120 or whatever they last a LOT longer. That’s probably what you have as said OP is a light made for 130+ volts and I bet you have close to 100 going to it.

The issue with LED’s is not name brand at all, it’s that a lot of them are straight up scams. Even the big names make shitty LED’s on purpose, to make money. There are LED’s rated for 5,000 hours and LED’s rated for 50,000+. A lot of the ones in big box stores are rated for 7500 hours and then there are some marketed as ‘twice the lifespan’ for 15,000. When if you look online you can very easily find 25,000 hour bulbs.
