No insult to Gerald Ford intended whatsoever. But a slight excuse just to use a movie gif! :)
Of course, being Hollywood, that same movie also insulted Ronald Reagan and Anita Bryant (no doubt thanks to Harvey Milk)

Incandescent light bulbs last their longest when switched on and never turned off. They nearly always burn out during that sudden rush of current hits the filament before it’s resistance can rise above a pure short. Thus the bright flash.
Turnint themoff and on gives them shorter lifespans.
It has always been that way. I work with an inventor but since he worka foe a company, all his inventions are owned by the conpany and not him. He agreed to that stipulation when he took the job.
I know you will now say that this is theft or something of the sort and this is how the rich stay rich. But it is a better way than him than trying to sell his idea and getting no where. He at least gets a nice salary with no need to create a business from the ground up.
It is not perfect.
I have two light bulbs in my master bedroom closet that are 22 years old. I find that amazing.

I have two G.E. 60 watters in a hallway that were here when I moved here in Dec. 1992. One switch controls both of them and they are used a lot
Filament?
