The Livermore Centennial Light Bulb in Livermore, California, was installed in 1901, according to Guinness World Records, which recognizes it as the world's longest-burning light bulb. The hand-blown bulb was made by the Shelby Electric Company in Ohio in the late 1890s and donated to Livermore's fire department in 1901. Originally a 30-watt bulb, it has been operating at about 4 watts since 2010. It's left on 24 hours a day at Fire Station #6 "in order to provide night illumination of the fire engines," according to Guinness.
