Light fantastic: World's oldest lightbulb still burning bright after 109 years

Burning bright: The world's oldest lightbulb, which has been glowing almost continuously since 1901

As EU rules deny householders the right to use traditional filament bulbs, the so-called 'Centennial Light' has been on almost constantly since 1901.

Of course it'll fit; you just need a bigger hammer.
