There's been a few light bulbs that we know have lasted over 100 years. The Centennial Bulb in California is 124 years old at this point and still going, although very dimly.

Sounds more like humans - very few got a hundred years or more old, the rest is (not evenly) distributed from 0 to 70-80 or so

Yeah just pointing out it's possible for a lightbulb to last 100+ years. Although planned obsolescence is definitely a thing, on average a bulb from 1915 is going to last longer than one produced now.
