Just wanna pin a little clarifier that somehow I missed the fact that the balafire box claims it actually has a carbon filament – and others found that Kyp-Go kept the precise formulation which allowed it to survive all this flailing about a tight secret. So when I was talking about the failure mode of evaporating tungsten, that probably doesn’t apply to this bulb at all!
I’ll forgive you.
Neat!
How can a magnet withstand the temperatures created by the filament?!
As far as I know, magnets that can withstand high temperatures are rare and expensive.
@@goranjosic these bulbs are only drawing 10 to 15 watts so they hardly get warm at all.
The ability of Carbon filaments to withstand heavy vibration is why naval vessels continued to use Carbon bulbs long after Tungsten had taken over the overall lighting market. The world’s oldest continually-lit bulb is the Carbon filament “Centennial Bulb” which began use in 1901.
Your credit music has that WTTW feel.
Neato never seen this before
As soon as you turned it on, Born To Be Wild started playing in my head and I ripped my shirt off and trashed my room. That lightbulb is some powerful stuff my dude…
