Westinghouse Canada H1LB/C, oldie!
|
Directly from the 1950s! When I picked it up it looked no different than it's H33-1GL/C sister. But I noticed the etch was different, then WOW! It's actually a pre-Lifeguard, soda-lime envelope /C lamp! I expected that lamp to be the most dim of all, but no! In fact it warmed up very quickly and still casts a creamy yellow-white light, beautiful!
The only thing that worries me is the presence of microscopic crocodile-cracks on the surface of the bulb. It's visible on a good part of the surface, at least 50 to 60%. Maybe it's a normal characteristic of aging soda-lime bulbs?
