Nice! what's your favorite type of light bulb? And yes, I agree: nice finding someone my age on here!

My favorite lamp type is mercury vapor (MV). MV used to be used to light the streets, but it's unfortunately being replaced by high pressure sodium (HPS), which give off an orange glow. My favorite modern brand is Sylvania.

I dislike new sylvania incandescent and cfl lamps

How come? sylvania is great quality IMO.

For incandescents:

Sylvania is usually excellent quality.
GE is somewhat decent.
Philips is plain trash.

For CFLs, the worst are Sylvanias. The Philips and GEs seem to be of equal quality.

mike, I hate sylvania packaging more than anything. However, (in my opinion) their "double life" incandescents and all CFLs except the micro-mini ones suck.

Sylvania HID lamps are great compared to GE or Phillips. EYE lamps are and always have been the best, thought the prices can be high. GE has the worst MH and PSMH lamps and Phillips Altos are horrible too.

Agreeed with the new philips altos!

CGE Home-Appliance inside frosted lamp from the early 80s

These inside frosted "Home-Appliance" 40W incandescent lamps were very popular in the 80s. This particular specimen has "22" stamped on the stem press, so it was most likely made in October '82, which sounds about right, considering the refrigerator I found this lamp in.
