A traditional incandescent lightbulb lasts anywhere from 1000 to 2500 hours.  That being said, you’re going to find yourself replacing a lot of them over the course of your life. It’s not even like they’re expensive, but if you’re a fan of upcycling to shine new light on something other people would throw away, then this list of DIY ideas for lightbulbs should brighten your day.
