Holy Sheet

This is what I found when I went to replace our bedroom light globe today, the new bulb is the smaller one. It's rated as 150W.

who made the old one ? Edison.....:U :U

That has to be an antique

Bet the new one does not last as long as the old one did. :U

I was going to say.......who needs 150 watts in a bedroom???? No electric blanket???
Just joking

I remember reading not long ago that over in the states somewhere there is a light bulb that is 70 something years old and still working.

You must have been reading about it in a Doctor's waiting room :)

If the bulb was the original it would be 56-57 years old, but then there's no real way of knowing this - it would just be a guess.

They had lights and electricity back then?

You can still by high wattage incandescants - Crompton does a series of 150W and 200W GLS lamps for edison and bayonet fittings
