As far as I know he's talking about the old filament bulbs. And it's actually a myth or at least a bad example of planned obsolescence. It is possible to make a light bulb that lasts virtually forever, but they would be expensive. It was a compromise between lifetime and production costs.

And where do you get those led bulbs? Mine break all the time...
