commented on a projectToday is day 136 of the primary lab experiment. That last CFL is still going. I thought that by day 30 all of the CFLs would be dead and then I would put out the video. I find myself in a dilemma of waiting for the last bulb to die vs. making the video now anyway. Tomorrow I drive up to a four week long permaculture event - so I think when I get back I will finish the video whether the bulb is still running or not.

Posted project update #2farmer laboratory CFL update
I expected the CFLs to die at about two weeks. Three of four of them did. One is still running and it is now day 100.
I expected the incandescents to die at about four weeks. Both incandescents are still going strong.
I already have most of the video footage for the video. Getting more today. And am gonna wrap this video up in the next week even if those remaining light bulbs are still burning.

farmer laboratory: light bulbs at 30 seconds by paul wheaton
I wanna test a big gob of light bulbs at 30 seconds. I suspect that a CFLs won't do well - but how poorly, exactly, will they perform?

Paul Wheaton is is the tyrannical ruler of two on-line communities. One is about permaculture and one is about software engineering. In his spare time, Paul has plans for world domination and is currently shopping for a hollowed out volcano with good submarine access near Missoula, Montana.
Looking forward to seeing the video! Great project.
