Claim:
1. A light bulb comprising: an Edison style base; light emitting diode circuitry coupled to the base; a conductive structure including a first proximal contact that is proximate the base and a first distal contact that is distal from the base; a bulb sealed about the base and extending above the base; a substantially cylindrical elongated filament supported on a first proximate filament end by the first proximate contact and supported on a first distal filament end by the first distal contact, the filament extending from the base into the bulb above the base, wherein the bulb entirely encases the elongated filament; a light emitting diode channel disposed within the filament, coupled to the light emitting diode circuitry, and extending into the bulb above the base; and an inert gas disposed within the bulb.
