World's Oldest Lightbulb

Burning bright: The world's oldest lightbulb, which has been glowing almost continuously since 1901.

The world's oldest light bulb has been burning for 109 years - so little wonder it has a fan club with thousands of members and its own website.




As EU rules deny householders the right to use traditional filament bulbs, the so-called 'Centennial Light' has been on almost constantly since 1901.

It holds pride of place in Fire Station 6, in Livermore, northern California.
