All Three Ancient Lamps Lit Together
|
The MAZDA lamp to the left puts out about the light of a 5W nightlight lamp. The other two combined don't even put that much light out lol. The red lamp comes on a second after the others. It sort of fades in and out when it's turned on or off. the edison lamp blinks for around 30 seconds then it seems to steady out, though there's a bit of a flicker to it. It's dimmer than a candle at 120V (it's a 220V lamp per the base etch) so it's probably be about as bright as a candle is powered at 240V. The mazda lamp is 250V and 15W so naturally it's half as bright as it should be (and would last twice a long too) The red lamp is supposedly 120V according to the ever so faint etch but it't pretty dim too.

As for the red bulb, could it be a safelight bulb for use in darkrooms?
in short, the relatives with the T17s and my grandpa who own's the car shop are blood relatives. The owner of the preheat F40s at my cousins house is related to me by marriage, but we are just as close. My great-aunt said i hve to come to her house sometime so i can clean out her house with all the light related stuff that she doesn't want that was accumilated by my great-grandparents over the years lol.
