Light bulbs are the original scam. Edison's first bulb is still burning. Look it up.
They build them to break. Motherfrickers.
I just wish someone would set out to frick the industry by building true lifetime bulbs and sell them for $40. I would buy them just so I didn't ever have to change them again.

It is easy to make a light bulb that will last forever... Just make it hit a relatively low temperature.
Of course, then you don't get much light and the light you do get is sickly orange.
A bright white efficient incandescent light bulb is necessarily running at a high temperature, which means it will eventually burn out.
