Rico says he thought it was in Edison's
lab in
Menlo Park, New Jersey, but apparently
not:
This lightbulb is 105 years old, and has been burning continuously since 1901:
First installed at the fire department hose cart house in 1901, then moved to the fire station at First and McLeod, then to its present site in 1976 at the fire station at 4550 East Avenue in Livermore, California.
Made by the Shelby Electric Company, a handblown bulb with carbon filament. Approximate wattage-four watts. Left burning continuously in firehouse as a nightlight over the fire trucks.
