Do they have a standard candelabra base? If so they'll make good night lights at 120v, AND last practically forever too at 120v!

Of course...but a 4w nightlight is almost too bright anyway!

Nah we have a 7W nighlight in the bathroom. That way, we don't even need to put on the actual bathroom light in the middle of the night. We leave the door slightly ajar (it only open a crack) and the little string of light makes the hallway walkable at night to get from my room to the bathroom. That's our only nightlight though. BTW, turns out these lamps were made sometime from the 40s-60s, as they're pre-GTE Sylvania. Cool

Oh cool, really vintage! We run a couple strings of LED Christmas lights 24/7 as nightlights. Brighter and uses less power than a 5w nightlight total!

Some NOS Sylvania Indicator Lamps

Here's some miniature A-shaped candelebra 10W 250V indicator lamps. I guess they'd be suitable to replace a 4W nightlight bulb but a little dimmer. I have a few more than in the pic. I had taken them a couple years prior. I wonder how old these are? 1960s or 70s?
