I'm a young lamp collector and I have a draw of old lamps. I even have a working 18w T8 in cool white! Lamp is 2 foot and has never been used.

Glad your back my guy! Pretty similar where i have most of my lamps in a big drawer with most wrapped in bubble wrap.

Those old preheat cfls last forever. I've got one (some no-name brand) that has been used every day since summer 2003 and it still works. Probably because it is used for several hours at a time and it preheats the electrodes for a decent amount of time.

i have 2 preheat tubes, one t8 and one t12, they haven't been powered on since circa 90s, and they still work in 2024!

The cfl bulbs that are sold at Home Depot are not bad bulbs. They will last a while just as long as if they are not turned on for more than 7 times a day. Don't use them in bathrooms or other location that will make them turned on for more than 7 times a day

2:13 is my favorite. I miss that design where the ends were flat, and bridged together. The newer ones tend to be spiral, or U shaped tubes.

I like these old cfls even if they are Made in China or Mexico because they can run circles around the earth. Rapid or Preheat start is the way to go cause the cathode has time to warm up but the new ones are instant start so they burn out faster making you go buy a new one sooner.

If bulbs are made in China or Taiwan do you still like them.

@@homeguestunton Yeah, I don't mind China made, I don't know about Taiwan but as long as they are rapid start bulbs or preheat, then I don't care where they are made.

@@brave1.0 A lot of GE and Sylvania bulbs are made in the USA. GE bulbs aren’t anymore. But some Sylvania bulbs are not that much as most are either sourced by GE or made in China. Philips was mostly either Mexico or Poland or China.

I love incandescent, low pressure sodium, high pressure sodium, mercury halide, halogen, fluorescent and the nernst lamp which are basically a variation of the incandesent and they're so rare and old that most people reading this comment has never heard of, (check out Photonic Induction's video to see what I'm talking about.) But there is one lighting technology that I absolutely despise and hate my parents for using them, Light Emitting Diode (LED.) I absolutely despise them, they flicker, the color looks like crap and they're just too bright.
@joeythefoxxo Жыл бұрын
Classic LED hater lol. Good quality LED bulbs have near perfect color, no flicker, and are only as bright as their rated lumens. There is nothing that makes any other technology inherently better. LED’s have a longer life and WAY higher efficiency. The only downside I could ever think of is the price, however most places have rebates now.
