There are some in the US that have been on 24/7 for decades, and
still work. Some are over 100 years old.

**Indeed. The ways to get incandescents to last a long time are well known.
They are simply under-run massively. IOW: Use a 280VAC rated lamp at 240VAC
and the thing will last MUCH longer. Of course, colour temperature edges
much closer towards the red and efficiency is absolute crap.

Cheap bulbs don't last,
and neither do those that are used improperly.

**Not so different to CFLs and LEDs. Funny about that.
