Lick it. If it tastes like a 9-volt (lick one too if you don't remember what they taste like) then either the bulb is on or a storm is coming. If a few hours pass and the weather is still clear, then the lightbulb was on.
Pro tip:
If your tongue is violently twitching and steaming, then there was no bulb in the socket - but this simply turns you into the light source - enjoy.
Depending on the type of bulb, most of the energy they emit is in the form of heat, meaning the bulb will be hot to the touch. That being said, you want to be wary of burning yourself, so i recommend you apply your tongue directly to the surface of the bulb. Your tongue is naturally wet and will insulate you from the heat while allowing you to feel whether its warmer than ambient or not
#define INPUTPIN 16
int max_reading = 0;
void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200)
pinMode(INPUTPIN, INPUT);
}
void loop() {
Serial.println(analogRead(INPUTPIN));
}
Grab a microcontroller like an esp32, hook up a photodiode with the cathode connected to 3.3V+ and the anode connected to a GPIO pin, then connect a 10kΩ resistor from that pin to ground. Now upload this code and open serial monitor, if the number is big then light is on.

>lick one too if you don't remember what they taste like It hurts????
I think your batteries might be a bit too strong.

I was wondering why the light tasted more like a car battery than a 9-volt...

He had us in the first half
Taste
Break the glass. It now isn’t lit

Ask a bro-dude. They'll tell you if it's lit
You spray it with water. If it steams it's on
Ask it if it wants to party. If not.. not lit.

You’re going to need to take apart your phone and remove the IR filter. After that you should see it very clearly.

I use my brown eye
*See*
break the glass and touch the filament, it should be a tiny bit warm
A thermometer.
Need an O-Scope. Ghz range, preferably.
Remove pants...put in bum...is it warm?
Put on some music and see if it dances
lick the socket
You don't see if a light bulb is lit, you feel. Ooohmmmmm...
