In Livermore, California, USA, there is a lamp 💡 that has been working since 1901 and has not been extinguished even for one hour for 120 years!!
All lamps were supposed to work with the same quality before the meeting of lamp manufacturers in 1924 in Geneva 🇨🇠and they agreed to manufacture lamps that did not last long and did not exceed 10,000 hours in order to increase lamp consumption and thus their sales and profits 💱.
A consortium of lamp manufacturers has been formed that includes every start-up company that is forced to meet the standards of the lamp industry that does not last long.
In 1988, a Pakistani company, a start-up in Karachi, tried to break away from spending and make lamps that last more than 500,000 hours,
The Western lamp companies, through their agents, flooded the Pakistani market with cheap lamps and launched a smear campaign against it in the local newspapers, claiming that its lamps cause cancer. The matter ended with the closure of the factory, bankruptcy and imprisonment of its owner.
There is a documentary film called The Light Club Conspiracy that explains the working system of this union.
For information, this matter has become applied to many electronic and mechanical products.. They are manufactured in order not to last long or to consume more spare parts on a regular basis.
