The Phoebus Cartel controlled the life time of light bulbs. The cartel agreed that the life time of a light bulb would be 1000 hours. Famous companies such as Osram and Philips where part of the cartel.
One can learn from the light bulb conspiracy that planned obsolescence is real. It is profitable unless they are caught for companies to make products with a limited life thus they can sell replacement products and bad for the environment.
