1942 Sylvania 4W T5 Black light blue Here is my 1942 Sylvania F4T5/BLB its the oldest tube in my collection and its the oldest BLB I have seen its NOS I lit it once its VERY dim but it does have some UV-A output (the etch is a bitch to take a picture of since it wraps around the tube and is quite faint) I got this awesome lamp from Jeremy (funkylamp) in a trade a few years ago
