go buy 130 volt light bulbs if you want a normal Incandescent bulb that will last for a really long time.

Since they are not running at full power on normal household voltage they last way longer, can easily get a few years out of them. You can buy a box of them at any hardware store and they look like normal when used. I changed over to dimmable cf bulbs in my house so I gave all my old used 130V bulbs away and they are all probably still working.

That is why that firehouse bulb is still running after all these years it isn't running at it's rated power. Get a normal 60W bulb and run it at 10W and it will last for hundreds of years
