- I explain why modern Incandescent light bulbs are burning out. Have you seen that old light bulb that works since 1901? Why doesn't it burn out? I try to find out in this video. Do you still use incandescent light bulbs? Let me know in the comments.
I'll show you how to make light bulbs last longer, and you'll see a diode trick that increases life of a light bulb.
About old light bulb:
The Centennial Light is the world's longest-lasting light bulb, burning since 1901. It is at 4550 East Avenue, Livermore, California, and maintained by the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department. More at Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centenn...

i hate leds and im still using incandescent and halogen bulbs all over my house, i buy incandescents from ebay. i only use a cfl in dining room since the light there stays on for more than 3 4 hrs a day and saves some money(cfl lights last more than 2 yrs if turned on for more than hour before shutting it off), but only there, only one
It's like a car, keep driving it smoothly and it'll last much longer. Also, if you keep turning it on and off, that can't be good for it.
Really nice! :)
Thanks my man this was very useful to me.
Would adding NTC 20D-20 prevent too quick burning out? Or, in case of 230-240V using two 110-120V bulb in sequence...
amazing video bro
Thanks!
I still have a couple filament light bulbs in use. They are in storage rooms, they are turned on seldom and for short periods.
That actually will last pretty long if it’s only used for short periods
You could have also use a dimmer to make the bulb last longer by not putting the dimmer All the way up
I hate LEDS. They bring out unnatural light and blind everyone's faces.
I'll just stick to the Good old stuff. they're made to last and have character involved.
just do like me buy incandescent on ebay and halogen at shops
@@stvpls Incandescents are kinda expensive on ebay. $50 for 10 bulbs.
@Rick Delair Not to mention our computer screens, TVs and phone screens use LED technology. Ny eyesight is going to shit and I'm only 26.
There are different kinds of LEDS. I used to work at a hardware store. You gotta get the warm glow, not the blue light ones. Those are the ones that look like hospital lights lol. But the warm glow ones are pretty good. Look just like the old ones, and only use like 8 watts and last way longer
@@flippydandan I bought a Sofirn SF36W in Jan. 2019, it's 1K Lms (actually measured 1070 Lumens), and has a 3000K Color temp. Uses a single Cree-XPL LED. It gets stupid bright for its size, but it's also pleasant on the eyes. It's a very nice flashlight to have.
That being said, I still despise the cold ass nature of a typical 6500K LED. They just look cheap and will probably burn your retinas faster than a 5000K or even 2700K LED.
Is in series with itself
Yo uso fluorescentes , ahorradores y de led el único incandescente que usamos es el del horno de la estufa pero aún tengo los incandescentes guardados en una caja
LEDs are bad for health
@@byscarmansi lo se pero lo que se busca aquí es ahorrar en el recibo de la luz procuro usar fluorescentes y incandescentes por lo mismo que asen daño la mitad de las áreas de mi casa son LED y la otra mitad son fluorescentes
rhe secret is when it stars too fast it burns faster so if u delay a bit the start it will last longer time ,because i remember a smal coin device they sell that u put in the socket and it delayed the start time and my bulb never burns and i remeber it had a smal center similar to carbon and the outside circle from a metal material similar to cooper or maybe a laton ,but i think the center was made from acid boric that has the property to be a bad conductor when is cold but when is hot it is a good conductor so at the beguining it delay the start and the bulb will live longer time,i remeber when i had that small device similar to a coin i never miss a bulb light
use thermistor in series. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermistor; cold light bulb take for couple cycles of mains about 3 time more current and most of damage happens then.
So you're saying this simple setup is actually reducing the life even more?
@@stoopidhaters , no - 2 in series is good for reducing inrush current, but in both cases (2 in series and diode) you get dark light, and with diode it will be visibly blink, but of course they will be last longer. Good easy and cheap solution is triac dimmer. Check this jackiewiczowie.blogspot.com/2014/10/termistor-ntc-jako-soft-start-do-zarowki.html it's in polish but there is a lot of oscillograms.

I understood the video but if I use any of the method the bulb would give me less light.
Yes, that is true. It's a trade-off
I imagine if one diode works, if you were to use a full-wave bridge rectifier, to run the bulb on DC current, it wouldn't have the 60 cycle fluctuation that AC does, and this might extend its life....
Hi, with one diode only a haft of the energy of the cycles goes through the diode, and the bulb works 50%, but with a full-wave bridge we will get all of the energy, and therefore the bulb will work 100 percent (or maybe 99%, to be more precise, because we will have a couple of volts loss on the diodes). So I think it will not help. And it will not be pure DC after the full-wave bridge, the current will still pulsate, but without change of its direction.
P.S. It is just my opinion, I will be glad if someone proves me wrong.
I have heard that if an AC bulb is run on DC, they last longer, But I agree you would have to an an AC ripple Filter to make it pure DC. Just throwing Ideas out there. thanx for your reply anyway :)
@@dusterdude238 As tungsten atoms evaporate from the filament, a very small percentage of them are ionized
by the small amounts of short-wave ultraviolet light being radiated by the filament, the
electric field around the filament, or by free electrons that escape from the filament by
thermionic emission. These tungsten ions are positively charged, and tend to leave the
positive end of the filament and are attracted to the negative end of the filament. The result
is that light bulbs operated on DC have this specific mechanism that would cause uneven
filament evaporation.
TL;DR: Unless the filament is vibrating violently at 50/60Hz because of the AC, DC operation won't make the bulb last longer.
i got a lkightbulb that looks like it came from SCP 432 and has strange fillement inside and never burns out. also this bulb is cosntaly trunred off and on.
Use a (9V Battery) Light Up The Bulb 9 times for 3 secnds each and it Makes The Filament Last Longer DO NOT TURN ON WITH FULL POWER FIRST.
What can you do to make LED bulbs last a hundred years ???
Instead of a diode, you use a capacitor. 440uf for +10w leds or 220uf for smaller bulbs. Make sure it is rated for the proper ac voltage.
@@Phoenix88. Thanks for the information on the bulb. I will try it out in a week or two. Peace
I'm sure this video would have been helpful if we could actually understand what the heck he was saying...subtitles please!
I know one of the things he needs to work on ...is his thick accent🤣🤣🤣
your voice and the background music is cringe
THIS IS A HATE COMMENT
Delete it.
