Re: Light Bulb Question....

"My question is, why not make such long-lasting light bulbs today??"

I think the answer is that light bulbs today are engineered for high light output efficiency with sacrifice for ultimate longevity. Tungsten is really tough, but to get a bright, nearly white light, then it has to be run with a big current density that limits lifespan.
