Hi Gary,
               The light bulb will light up out of the water if you take the
water away, the water is sinking power Even if the filament is open to one
of the mounting posts inside, it will light up. You are heating the filament
directly; What effect the gas that is used to back fill these bulbs (rather
than a hard vacuum) plays here, I'm not sure.
I've gotten the glass to distort into odd shapes doing a bulb in a higher
power microwave oven.
Like Bill said, you may need to take the glass tray out but the bulb, open
or not, should light.
Mike
