Latest comment: It's been burning for 925,000 hours. They didn't have 100w bulbs, or dimmer switches a hundred years ago. A dimmer would burn out at which point the bulb would be off. Voltage would effect output but when this bulb was manufactured it wouldn't have been designed to operate at anywhere near 100 volts. Also the glow is light so you have failed on every one of your "facts".

(1714 days ago)What they haven't told you is that the voltage is turned wayyyyyyyy down on a dimmer switch. Yes its a quality bulb, heavy filament and a great vaccume, but it isnt producing any "light". There are only 6 to 12 volts running though it instead of 112. Just enough to warm the filament and make it glow. Its a 100 watt bulb putting out less than half a watt just so it does continue to burn a a gimmik.

(1714 days ago) That plus the fact its NEVER been turned off. Light filiments suffer more shock from being turned on just once than from burning for 100 hr.
