No, we're not talking about the light at the end of the tunnel. This is a regular filament light bulb that has been burning bright since the time of Edison himself, at a fire station in Livermore, California.
The light has achieved celebrity status and has its own Guinness World Record. It was installed in the Livermore Fire Station in 1901 and has been turned off only for about a week since then. It was designed by Adolphe Chailet whose bulb designs have been known to last longer than Edison's inventions.
The light has its own fan club, a CCTV camera and a website and if that wasn't enough, nobody knows how it still continues to burn.
