Gleaned from an article in the STrib on Ripley's Believe It Or Not:

A carbon-filament 4-watt light bulb has been burning in the Livermore, CA, fire department since 1901, making it the world's oldest-known working light bulb. It may be the only light bulb with its own web site. I've heard of this bulb before, and am still amazed. I'm also amazed that no one's ever turned it off.

They showed this on Mythbusters as well. They were testing wattage and such of other bulbs. Quite neat.

Just wanted to comment.
