Okay, to settle the claims of fluorescent lamps
having a longer life
than incandescents, what's the longest that a fluorescent lamp has
ever been in constant operation?
As a benchmark, I don't know if it's still there, but I believe that
the Livermore, CA fire station had an incandescent lamp in more-or-
less continuous service for about 100 years.
If it is the one I am thinking of, it was made for night light use.
5 or 3 watts of power here.
