Ray Peat posted something interesting in his article "Pathological Science" regarding light bulbs.
Carbon filament bulbs made around 1900 often lasted decades; I had one that kept working until it was broken during a move in 1960. Light bulbs made in England 65 years ago, and in the Soviet Union, and bulbs currently made in China, had a life expectancy five times as long as the bulbs made in the US since GE learned how to carefully control the rate at which the tungsten filament deteriorates.
Pathological Science & General Electric: Threatening the paradigm
Does anyone know anything about the lights that he is referring to? He said that bulbs currently made in china last five times longer than the ones made in the U.S, Does anyone have a source for those lightbulbs ? Any brands or companies ?
