How can I make a light bulb burn out with out electrocuting myself?

Question

I also don't want it to look intentional. This is a basical edison based Incandescent light bulb.

Answer 1

cant you just find one burnt out somewhere else and switch 'em? or shake and tap an old one until it breaks the little wire thingy in there.

Answer 2

What causes bulbs to burn out faster is contraction and expansion of the filament. If you can rig a circuit to pump a lot of current through the bulb, then shut it off, and repeat--1/2 second interval--that ought to break the filament fairly quickly.

Answer 3

Attach it to 220VAC
