On June 8, 1901 - they turned on the Lightbulb at the Livermore California Fire house. It is still burning.

It is considered the oldest continuous burning lightbulb in history.

Thought to have been a 30-watt bulb when installed, the Livermore light seems to have decreased in power over time.

“You can think of it as sort of an animal with a low metabolism. It's giving us less energy per time, so it can keep on going longer,”

Not to be outdone, there are other locales in a top ten list of oldest lightbulbs that come a close secone

Here's a great video I recommend that includes the "Livermore Lightbulb" and where it fits in a protectionist cartel.
