How do lights in digital radios / alarm clocks / keyboards / etc, stay on for years and years without ever burning out?
In: Technology
Well for one, the light output on small electronics is relatively low so it doesn’t wear out as quickly, but the second one bigger reason is because lightbulbs, like most other things these days, are made to break so you have to buy more. I don’t remember where exactly, but in a fire department of a small town there is a lightbulb that the firefighters noticed they hadn’t changed in a long time, and when they checked the dates they found that this one bulb had been going for decades and it still going strong today. It’s yet another example of corporate greed
