| I think I have some bulbs from the 20s and 30s.
As for fixtures, probably my RLM. Or maybe one of the fluorescent fixtures.

I seem to remember someone asking this question before, but not 100% sure. Anyway, our oldest lamp is without doubt Barnaby who we believe to be from at least 1900, if not even earlier  We're having a display case made for him, so pictures when we can  Update 02/04/21 - Here he is in his new home |

My oldest electric fixture would be either my Thorn Beta 5 or my Thorn Gamm 6, from the 1980s. However, my oldest lantern is a Chalwyn Tropic hurricane lantern dated 1952. |

| Oldest lamps are a few 1890s carbon filament incandescents.
Oldest fixture, well I am not exactly sure lol. I probably have incandescent fixtures from the 1920s or so.

Resolutely crack down on inferior LED lighting!!

| My oldest light source is the F20T12 fluorescent tube from the 1990s, and of course, the older one is the glow tube: like the NL-842 nixie tube from 1971
