Obične žarulje bez problema traju desetljećima (imao sam jednu na kući koja je radila nekih 35 godina i to van kuće, izložena vremenu). Ali kad su proizvođači to skužili, uložili su enormne napore i novce u istraživanje žarulja koje će trajati...kraće (onima što tvrde da kapitalizam znači napredak usprkos )

Citat:

"The cartel served as a convenient way to lower costs and worked to cap the life expectancy of light bulbs at 1000 hours,[3] while at the same time hiking prices without fear of competition. Members' bulbs were regularly tested and fines were levied for bulbs that lasted more than 1000 hours. A 1929 table lists exactly how many Swiss francs had to be paid, depending on the exceeding hours of lifetime. This was not public knowledge at the time, and the cartel could point to standardization of light bulbs as an alternative rationale for the organization."

u dokumentarcu The Light Bulb Conspiracy je sve odlicno objasnjeno pa ak vam se da pogledajte.
