Abstract
Disclosed herein is an improved light bulb life extender device made in a small disc-like form and designed to be removably insertable into an Edison-type light bulb socket. The inventive device is operative to place in series with a source of electrical power a silicon bilateral voltage triggered switch specifically designed to allow a voltage output of a predetermined percentage of the voltage inputted thereto. Through this reduction in voltage, the associated light bulb will burn slightly less brightly but with significantly extended life span.
