As a boy I was always tasked with unscrewing the dozen 20 volt bulbs and testing them on my Tri-ang trains transformer.

More recently I restored two sets of these lights for use at a museum, but I used the lampholders from a scrap set to make them into 15-light sets, which are bright enough for the window display with hopefully much longer life.
