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

We moved into our house in October of 1998. That bulb is still working. What’s weird is that it gets turned on and off about 5 or more times a day. I could understand a bulb lasting a long time if it stays on all the time. But not the case with this bulb.
Anybody else experience a bulb like this?

Now this is a thread I can get behind.

Your wife is secretly screwing behind your back.

Yep. I think the longest lasting bulb in our house is in the bathroom too. The light on the ventilation fan thingy. Meanwhile I change the bulbs in my bedroom like every six months.

I noticed that you still have the same light bulb.

Thomas Edison would be proud

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.

These new LED bulbs aren't worth a crap. I'm changing them just as often as old monofilment bulbs

You jinxed it. It’s going out Tomorrow.

They are crap. I stocked up on a bunch of American made conventional 60W, 75W, and 100W lightbulbs when Newcandecent was still selling them. Heavier duty and much longer lasting than the older incandescents and far better than the newer ones.

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.

Planned obsolescence is a conspiracy theory I can belive in.

Our LED lights last a long time.
Those damn recessed cans in the kitchen seem to go out once a year.

The generic ones are useless and the name brands are much better..BUT the enclosed light fixtures pretty much wipes out any long term savings as the heat kills the bulb super fast... something LED bulbs haven't mastered yet. I use Phillip branded ones.

Just jinxed yourself.
Will probably burn out soon.
But you did get you money’s worth.

When we built our current house in 2000, the kitchen has some can lights. I have yet to replace one of those bulbs.
