Welcome to the homepage devoted to the Longest burning Light Bulb in
history. Now in its 108th year of illumination.
Professor Deborah Katz of Annapolis Physics Dept. has taken an interest in our Shelby Bulb and has conducted a Laser test
on another Shelby Bulb of the same vintage, we provided her. Please follow the test link to see her results, and a few pictures.
For those of you who watch the Discovery channel you might have caught
the episode 69 of MythBusters. No, they were not questioning the Bulb,
but were showing it in reference to the longevity of other bulbs. To see a
clip of it go to our articles page and follow the Mythbusters button.
For those of you who enjoyed Charles Kuralt. I posted his 1972
interview of the Firemen at Station 1 from his book On The Road
in the articles section, as well as a videoclip.
