Light bulb is a period-2 oscillator that was found in 1971.[1][2] Its rotor, known as the filament,[3] is the only known 3-cell period 2 rotor, and it can be embedded in a slightly smaller stator, giving the 21-cell variant shown below. Two other variants of this oscillator are also known.[4] Various other small induction coils can also be used in place of the snake at the top of the bulb, including house and bookend, (the latter of which has a known 6-glider synthesis for the resulting oscillator[5]) though these lead to larger bounding boxes.
First soup-based syntheses for this oscillator were discovered by Mark Niemiec on December 17, 2004 based on results from Andrzej Okrasinski's census, costing 11 gliders for the house-stabilized version and 16 gliders for the bookend-stabilized version.[6]
