[TowerTalk] Fwd: Now THIS is a tower climb!

[Hans Hammarquist via TowerTalk]

I think the problem is to introduce a "new", long-life, light bulb. Any, modern LED bulb would do lifetime wise. I believe, though,  there are several light bulbs in the assembly that automatically replace the bulbs as they burn out. That is used in lighthouses to insure there is a light on all the time. To design an assembly that could automatically replace burnt-out LED bulbs might not be that simple. You know, everything there has to be approved by authorities.

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