A lightbulb has been glowing for 122 years. Since 1901, it has been lighting this garage at the Livermore Pleasanton fire station in California. It was donated by Dennis Bernal, who owned the Livermore Power & Water Company. He was selling his business and he donated the light bulb to the fire department. The durable light bulb was made in Shelby, Ohio and made its mark in the Guinness Book of World Records. The filament is carbon filament and the filament is about half the size and thickness of your hair. They're not allowed to touch him, by the way. They don't even dust it off. This little light was on during World Wars I and II, the moon landing, 22 American presidents, even a global pandemic. You will be surprised that the thing had been glowing for only one million hours.
