    I guess you’re implying that rough service bulbs use more power at any given light output? Because I know from experience that they are much more sturdy than typical household bulbs. That’s not a myth.

      Rough service bulbs live longer in environments with high amounts of physical stress, temperature variation, and vibration. They don’t live longer in general.

      The lifespan of an incandescent is dictated by the evaporation rate of tungsten and directly related to the wattage.
