Eternity 56,000 hour incandescent!
Kinda long isn't it? Aero-Tech used to make these Eternity brand bulbs a while ago, they are kinda rare and I have seen only one before finding this first one for my collection. 69w of power with a light output barely brighter than a 40w standard incandescent and a very orange color!

yep underdriven lamp....but nice find...

The 130 volt lamp will last about 12,000 hours on 120 volt....

I take that they don't make them anymore Sad

You could install this bulb and leave it on for a century xD

@Jace running a 130v lamp on 120v will increase life by 280%. A 1000 hour 130v bulb will last 2800 hours, for example.

Then why did I have some lamps that had 2 sided package one side for 120 volt other for 130 volt and I recall 12,000 hours

When incandescent lamps are underdriven, they are dimmer for more power. So if you want more life in a lamp you will be using more energy for less light. If you want incandescent lamps to be MORE efficient you will need to overdrive the voltage, which makes the incandescent lamp brighter for less wattage, BUT you get reduced lifetime. That's how incandescent lamps kind of work.. Right? xD

Are they long life incandescent bulbs? I know a 5000 hour 130v bulb will last 14000 hours.

Actually if you underdrive incandescent lamps the wattage will go down but lumens will go down more, making the filament burn cooler and longer lasting.
