Hi all, from 240V land.
Firstly, my thanks to Patrick for my reg. approval and here`s to more hours of interesting browsing!
As hinted at in the subject line, I could do with a bit of knowledgeable help to try and pin this bulb down? I put this bulb in the loft/attic best part of 30 years ago, when my son became a lot more mobile and interested in all things shiny and `grabable`! The info, that I can only best remember now (As my dear wife thought it would look far better on display, with a nice shiny copper bottom and polished the faint print off!) I believe it was made by Osram in the UK (stencilled on top of the globe) 80V and 3000W and more than likely a Lighthouse Bulb? I acquired it in the early 1970`s and appears to be brand-new, unused and undamaged.
I was also thinking of trying to get it to work (at a very low output, with the filament just glowing, for effect?) what do you think? possible? I just need to get an old E39/40 GES holder for it, but rare as hens-teeth in the UK (the modern ones just look to, well, modern!)
I`ve got lots more pics of it with filament detail etc. If you want to see em just let me know
Regards, Chris R.
