Description
The only thing in life a lightbulb has to look forward to is the hope that someday it'll burn brighter than it ever has before. Ironically, that happens just before burning out.Lightbulbs are in a vacuum- if they are exposed to oxygen they will burn, like this.

If by chance you'd like to see what gets deposited on the insulating posts that hold the fillament when you burn the bulb in air, have a look at [link] .

This is a shot I wanted to make a very long time ago... I already got the bulbs...
Now I only need the time.
How did you got rid of the glass so neat?

I wrapped the bulb in paper towels, and put it in a plastic bag and carefully hit it with a screw driver handle until it shattered. Then I used pliers on a multi-tool to break away every remaining bit.

Yup, I probably messed up half or a third of the time though. The filament inside is so dang delicate.
