New museum items



24V 10W (Tesla Pančevo)

This is a signal lamp designed for signaling on the railway. At night, it illuminates the boxes showing the position of the switch mechanism. Instead of Tesla, the lightbulb has t logo.



220V 40W (Tež Tesla (tt))

This is one of the first bulbs in my collection that I bought in 2017. Tež Tesla brand, badly visible logo, 40 W power, shines orange.



230V 25W (Tungsram)

One very interesting Tungsram lamp. It does not have a logo or any brand, but the brand can be recognized by the way the glass is made. I found the light bulb on the internet and exchanged it for 2 of the most common Chinese light bulbs. The power of this lamp is 25 W. I received it along with a green light bulb.

220-230V 115W (OSA)

The picture shows the oldest light bulb in my collection. I bought it last year. It's purple. It gets very hot. The filament is made from carbon.



230V 60W (Tesla Pančevo)

High quality light bulb. According to a former worker at Tesla plant in Pancevo, these bulbs can last up to 20 years, sometimes even longer.



ЛД 40-1 (Razno (СЭЛЗ))

Here is my 2nd Soviet 40W lamp. I got it for free with 6 Elektroimpex tubes. I drove it with these 6 tubes on my bike and they survived the ride. The markings on the flask are worn out and barely noticeable. Nice tube.



FL-40W-1 (Elektroimpex)

Here are lamps from Bulgaria. I found them discarded in working condition due to replacement with LEDs. These tubes do not have a date code. The coating is almost uniform like Philips. Pins are made of brass. 6500K color.



ЛБ 20-1 (Лисма)

This is one of my favorite tubes. It's very durable and you can see that it worked a lot, but here's the miracle: it still turns on fine, gives a lot of light, and colors are clearly visible.



20W F74 (Tungsram)

One of the highest quality tubes. I got it new because the building has been renovated and had LED lighting installed. The tube shines beautifully and the colors are clearly visible. There are no cathode guards.
