LIFX could be the reinvented light bulb of the future

The lightbulb has been reinvented many, many times since it first came on the scene in the late 1800s, always promising some new way to light your indoors. LIFX is a Kickstart lightbulb project that’s a LED light bulb that generates as much light as a traditional 60 Watt incandescent bulb, can be controlled wirelessly, lasts up to 25 years, and consumes less power than a fluocompact bulb, without the nasty chemicals.

Re-illuminating an early light bulb after it’s been buried for 100 years

This light bulb, from 1912, was buried in a time capsule in NELA Park, the home of General Electric for 100 years. GE recently unburied the time capsule and in this video, they’re slowly juicing the bulb up after it’s been cold for a century. What else was in the time capsule? Four other light bulbs, packed in sand. Well that’s kind of disappointing.
