Re: Heating Bulbs
Here's a couple of mine.
The "Gamages" one is not really a bulb as such, more of a bulb-sized black heat element with an standard ES base. Kept as a curio: it was my in-law's and would need a new flex if I wanted to use it.
The other one is a 750W 240V bulb with a GES base. Bulb and lamp holder bought for 2/6d each at a local government surplus shop circa 1970. As well as occasionally being used to illuminate the garden to finish off jobs that hadn't been completed by sunset (suspended from the washing line), it made an excellent heater for mum's 10' x 6' shed, and made sure I had plenty of light to see by! Photographed next to a 40W GLS bub for comparison.
