Although in the Bulb Cam we see the bulb is still burning, we can’t find any information about a celebration this year. Here is what we posted a year ago about the birthday of this amazing light bulb:

- It’s at the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department.
- It burns continuously as a night light over the fire trucks.
- It originally was a 60 watt bulb. It now shines at 4 watts.
- It’s been declared the oldest known working light bulb by Guinness Book of World Records and Ripley’s Believe-It-or-Not.
- Ripley’s will be receiving it, when it burns out, for their museum.
- If you can’t make it to the firehouse to watch this famous light bulb, you can watch it on the firehouse’s bulb cam: http://www.centennialbulb.org/photos.htm
