ЛБ 40-4 (SLZ)

Another rare lamp, already well-worn, but quite durable, the same LB color from childhood, although it greens the camera, the very caps that were the "hallmark of daytime lamps" when I was just a jerk looking for them everywhere and everywhere.

The etching at the end is practically lost, but it can be seen at some angle.

I preheated mercury stains about an hour before shooting and another hour after, they practically stretched out.



Soviet ceramic plug

The ceramic plug from the USSR is similar in design to similar carbolite plugs of the late 30s...early 60s. Presumably taken from a heating device, the logo is missing.



Ceramic socket from the 40s

Soviet ceramic socket of the 40s, 250V 6A, the logo is difficult to recognize. I am sure this socket is pre-war. I begged it out in one house of alcoholics - I literally tore it off a homemade extension cord, which got to them from the trash. I have almost the same socket, but without one contact, which I dug out of the ground. It has the "RZ" logo.



Socket with a fuse

A socket with a fuse, the inscription reads "Cher Bav RMPK Kharkiv". A search on the Internet for the request "Kharkiv RMPK" gives out pre-war spoons and cup holders, the quote reads:

"Tea spoon" Stalinist RMPC ". Stainless steel

The plant was completely destroyed during the hardest battles for Kharkov in 1943, after the war it was territorially restored and renamed to "Mechanical Toy Plant".

 



KZETI socket

Socket for hidden wiring, the inside is similar to similar sockets for open wiring, which are much more common. The bracket are lost. Similar KZETI sockets, but with minor differences, were filmed in the standard Soviet buildings of the early 60s.



1УБЕ-40/220-ВП-05У4 (Луйс)

Retrieved from an unidentified fixture. It worked there in tandem with 1UBI choke. I have no clue on what is the difference with the 051 series. The quality is disgusting. Ignites the lamp from the 3-4 attempt and hums like a tractor. Together with its "partner" they were set aside and replaced with electronic ballasts.



1УБИ-40/220-ВО-051У4 (Луйс)

Retrieved from an unidentified fixture. It worked there in tandem with 1UBE choke. Despite the manufacturer, a fairly high quality sample. No noise and reasonable heating during operation. Possibly this is due to the year of manufacturing (1975).



НСБ-? (Электрометалл)

An elegant chandelier from the late fifties of the last century. The markings that we managed to find are on the lampholder mount. It contains the following information: "Electrometall, Tallinn, 220 V / 75 W, GOST 8607-57, 1959". The lamps, together with the lampholders, are placed horizontally in the cavity of the glasses, illuminating the room with a pleasant soft light, diffused by frosted glass cups and reflected from the ceiling. In order to remove the cover, it is necessary to unscrew the bulb and partially disassemble the lampholder.



НСБ-?

Luxurious chandelier made in the Stalinist Empire style. Manufacturing materials: brass, bronze, steel, bakelite, glass (glass or crystal - I can't judge). Since there is doubt, let it be glass. This, in my opinion, does not detract from the artistic value and historical value of this product. Unfortunately, no markings could be found. Internet searches have yielded no positive results. For the manufacturing date of the chandelier I took the year of production of one of the lampholders, which I had to repair after the purchase.



«Камелёк» (МЭЛЗ)

"Kamelyok" souvenir night light from the era of the distant seventies was designed to create an atmosphere of peace and home comfort. The body is assembled from the identical brass elements, connected by plastic corners using screws and nuts. The glow discharge lamp (with E27 base) flickers pleasantly when glowing, imitating the quivering tongues of flame. At that time, this lamp was very expensive. I bought it in those distant years as a gift to my grandmother on her birthday.
