I have a light bulb that was made in Fort Wayne,Indiana in 1912. It was a going away gift to my neighbor when she left the Fort Wayne light works in 1912. It has a filiment that when it is moved or shaken,lightly of course,moves ,or shakes or wiggles. I 'am thinking of donating it to the Fort Wayne historical society but don't really want to give it up. It is one-hundred three years old as of this past August of 2015.

I like the Edison style incandescent light bulbs in different colors besides clear. They are available in blue, green, red, yellow, and even orange. It is good for Christmas lights or special occasions. Too bad they don't have it at Greenfield Village/Henry Ford Museum for display.

@CampKohler We have an autotransformer and gradually raise the bulbs to level of illumination but much less than rated voltage, this way the antique bulbs can last a very long time on display.

The old bulbs are much better thank you.

Had to re-upload this to improve historical accuracy of the Frederick de Moleyns early bulb.

Fluorescent light bulbs sucks the life out of you. Incandescent light bulb fills the life in you.

excellent explanation

Apparently a few years back around when they were banning Incandescents, MIT were trying to make a more efficient Incandescent. I've seen the article but I don't know if they are still working on it. Maybe you know more about it?

Home depot and Lowes have a couple different vintage light bulbs now, one with a square filament and another with long strands wound vertically. Check them out there in the lighting section,they're in yellowish blister packs.

Very nice!

good explanation 👍

I've got about 3 lifetimes worth of them put away.

I have to say that My all time favorite incandescent bulb is the cage filament bulb at 1:47. I have them from 10 watt to a whopping 1000 watt. The 60 - 300 watts are My favorites. I also love the carbon bulbs. After that CLEAR Mogul based Mercury Vapor bulbs used in street lighting (the early ones). Bulbs are beautiful indeed!

@EdisonTechCenter Is there gap between two filaments? Does anyone know about this?

Thank youuuuuu 🙌

Funny how the announcer on the vintage documentary video is talking about incandescent lamps while showing neon lamps.

Yo tengo más de 30 bombillas incandescentes en mi colección de bombillas

我超喜歡電燈泡！它代表人類科技的開始。

I was at museum with an antique light bulb collection and I saw a very unusual one. It had two probes extending into the center of the bulb with rounded caps. Instead of a filament wire, it had a fine cloud of wire that reminded me of steel wool. Any thoughts at to what it was?

when does the incandescent light bulb carry more current ?

I'll have you know that I did indeed search this up

where would i get a bulb with the big loops in the filament?

Wow!

@Tbolt1000TForLife if they ban those, I will make my own

Can i ask? Can an insulator full of carbon works as a filament?

LED"s put out a frequency RF signal. May not be good for brain. Had to move one away from indoor TV antenna, was knocking signal out.

What is the cost of this bulb plant

Marvin Pipkin also developed a coloring process for lamps that was used on early Christmas lamps. www.flickr.com/photos/jeffcarter629/32673079051/in/album-72157676713459203/

Have you ever had an antique lamp burn out when you applied current? Did you have a heart attack?

Now there are the stupid led bulbs but I like incandescent bulbs a lot more the led bulbs have a white color that isn’t nice at all

incandescent bulbs are banned here now but I found a working one on a landfill and I use it because I'm too lazy to go buy a led

Omg

I have one theory as to why the incandescent light bulb is being phased out and it has to do with the " armaments" or defence industry . The powers that be have detemined that DU or depleted uranium munitions ,though effective , have very toxic side effects when used to both sides ? And so for their armor piercing shells and what not they are looking to replace the DU stuff with tungsten cored shot which is what they used previous to the invention of DU munitions .So what to do with the DU ? Could DU be made " ductile" like tungsten and could it be made into a resistive filament and placed within a vacuum or gas filled bulb as described in the video ? And if so of what use might it be ? One thought was for some kind of "ion propulsion" type device for spacecraft or perhaps as a germicide type light for killing bacteria in hospitals etc ?

Many people mistakenly believe these generate photons but in reality, they absorb darkness.

Dont forget nikola tesla , he created the electric incandescent bulb , :)

Sometimes incandescent bulb last longer than LED

Edison shouldn't be in the video
