Since this user doesn't want us to post comment at his 30 Watt Germicidal Lamp at
30_W_GERMICID_,,F___IMP_II.jpg, I'll use this as my comments to his specimen. As you can see the coiled emitter that you see through between the envelope, I suspected that as the bulb ages as more emission materials sputtered out of the filaments and the material is trapped in the magnetic field of the coiled area of the filament travels around the field until it hits the wall of the evelope. That is how the unique blacking pattern shows up.
