Can definitely confirm this effect. Had a regular bulb in a standing lamp that was pointing upward toward a corner of my home office, that I never turned off. It lasted five years of being on 24/7. The other bulbs used in it (the lamp has three light inserts) have also lasted incredibly long durations (typically 2 to 3 years).
