sillman appears to render either archaic light bulbs or (DC) flashlight bulbs for some reason. web consensus connects radiant light bulbs to edison's eurica moments (of which he had many including vacuum tube light bulbs). some effort has also been given to replacing the classic light bulb symbol with something else since recent technology has proven it to be a not so efficient form of luminescence. once something has attained iconic status its hard to undo without a better replacement icon (a reference here to "reinventing the light bulb"). technology may not be the place to look for lasting metaphors, but a hundred years is not a bad run.
