2-Pack of Vintage GE 100W BugLite Lamps

These have the longer neck that 150W and 200W bulbs today have. I like these larger lamps. I've not lit them, but they're NOS so they should work.

If you do light them, you'll find they're much better looking than today's equivalent! I have thing for bug lights in general, especially vintage ones.
I'm not exactly sure when GE went from the A21 shape to the A19 for 100 watters but I'm gonna say 50s vintage!

Yeah I lit a 60W version of this I grabbed from their basement and the light is so yellow! Shocked Very Happy I think 100W lamps were made in A19 and A21 as late as the 90s! These are probably from the late-60s or early 70s since they bought the house in 1967 and probably bought these when they moved in.

Sounds about right. I like the classic yellow feel. Sylvania "Bug foiler" ones from the 80s have a really bright, vivid yellow outside look when off.

Dave said these are from 1962-1970 based on the package design. After 1970 they required lumens and life to be on the packaging.

Interesting, that helps date mine too!
