A little digression on the life of incandescents:-
Back in the 40's (1940's I mean) the county council changed the street lamp globes every couple of years. As younger lads we used to follow the truck and ask for the old globes which were usually given. We still had some in 1970 that had been in operation for over 20 years.
They don't last that long now!
