Yes it is easy. As a matter of fact, it is hard NOT to make X-Rays when many kiloVolts are applied to a vacuum tube. Early TV manufacturers found this out,...

Eric aren't modern light bulbs filled with some kind of inert gas instead of a hard vacuum? Edison used hard vacuum I know, and had some pretty sophisticated...
Yes, today's bulbs are filled with an inert gas. Edison indeed must have had some pretty good pumps because the amount of air remaining was around 40...
