this is why if you eber work with stage/theater lighting you know to never leave any finger prints on the bulbs... the oils from your finger prints heats up and causes a temperature difference in the glass - this temperature difference couases the bulb to crack- the crack lets air in and pretty much causes the bulb to implode...or explode if it is filled with a gas (most lightbulbs are - its cheaper that creating a vacum)
LOL when i was a kid i liked dripping water on hot light bulbs in the washroom and it sizzled and stuff then i tried cold water and it popped and burned out it was funny
dude. i did that on purpose, with one little drop of water. i wanted to see how fast it would evaporate (what a dumbass i was). it sizled (dont correct me on this one) for one second then blew up and i had to turn the other lamp to see what the fuck had just happened. Good times...
@jffry890 well it actually makes sense - the drop of water cooled one side of the glass down creating tensions in the glass which it couldn't withstand and then it broke.
@Falconoflife ya i understand the science but i never imagined a single drop of water would do it. but being that a lightbulb is so brittle i can see why.
they're usually filled with a noble gas, because it is hard to maintain a true vacuum in the bulb. but yes, it is inert, and yes, it is low pressure, so that it won't oxidize.
Pure oxygen would be the worst thing to put in a lightbulb... or very close the worst. As Ariedartin says, lightbulbs have unreactive gas at low pressure inside, so that when they heat up and the gas expands they don't explode (because the inside pressure still isn't too high).
What caused the bulb to explode was the jet of cold water, which would happen with any very hot glass... or ceramics etc
it's not vacuum there's argon inside cause it's a noble gas so it stops the carbon filaments from melting/overheating cause argon is a poor conductor of heat
Quick! INHALE!

if a light bulb is lit, wait till it gets hot then spray it with a squirt bottle. KABOOM!!!!!

liar something is on the bulb which is so hot its making it smoke and the light is making it look like an explosion
YourLocalHomi 2 years ago
No? Turn on a lightbulb and leave it there until it's burning hot, the put freezing cold water on it. It'll pop.
Keep in mind this is a heat lamp, so the explosion here is more drastic.

What causes lightbulbs to explode??
iamblackzack 4 years ago
Pure oxygen,under pressure inside the bulb coupled with the heat from the filament. pretty wild.
Settpistol 4 years ago
uh, no, light bulbes are under a vacuum so the filament doesn't oxidize(burn). he overheated it, and sprayed water on it.
