They had some older unused GE 40 watt CW with the outside print similar to the ones that were inside etch. These were post Mainlighter....BUT WAIT ! ! ! !

I was in the PETS INC Thrift store and scored a Mainlighter. It had been somewhat abused as it had a gray mark all the way around on both ends and flashed blue and purple a few seconds after starting in the preheater. Once the mercury burned off it looks better.

The GEs at RE store were $1.00 each and I bought 4. I would have bought all of them if they were a more exotic white.... but I didn't as I hate Cool White. They all are good and bright.
