@streetlight98: We talked about this awhile ago, I like vintage sylvania bulbs but not the modern ones but any incandescent is fair game now. By the way, I saw a bulb at someone's house made by Sylvania that said "Energy Saver" on the etch, was 90 watts, and was in a weird stretched a17? a18? Shape. Any info?
During the '80s, Sylvania manufactured its SuperSaver line in an A17 envelope (slightly smaller than the familiar A19 but bigger than an A15). These were typically found in boxes of four and sold for commercial use. I saw them in 120 and 130 volt design, and in both standard life and XL. The packaging touted the bulbs as being less likely to break. The bulbs did have an unusual shape - the neck was narrow and then flared out at the top, not as smooth a curve as the A19s.
For whatever reason, Sylvania went back to the A19 size at some point around 1990 or later.
