General Electric FC8T9/WW
|
This is my 2nd 22W /WW circline! I got the first one is a flea market, and this one came from the recycle centre. For some reason I found it sitting among CFLs when I went to dispose of some burnt out CFL tubes.
It is even older, '81! Still works like a charm and has a rather pinkish, yet pleasant warm light.

What is also interesting to note is that the G.E. Circlite was an early CFL that used a magnetic ballast with internal glow-bottle starter. Despite the fact that the circline lamp is labelled with "RAPID START", the fixture/lampholder assembly was, in fact, preheat.
