I once visited a BC station in Trinidad that had the red "on the air"
light inside a double panel of glass between the studio and control
room. I foolishly asked "do you mean you have to remove one of those
glass panels when you have to replace a burned out lamp?" The answer was
"no...we never have to replace them since they are 240 VAC bulbs and we
power them with 120 volts." I guess it cuts back on the illumination
but extends the life of the bulbs significantly.

Now, invent a really long life bulb and you will sell at least a
