GE "Computer Light" T-shape lamps
Been after some of these for some time, but finally got hold of some split off an Ebay lot for me. These have a curious external acid-etched coating on them, apparently for use in desk lamps near computer monitors to reduce glare on the screen. They didn't catch on as they were more expensive than the usual Philips "Softone" or GE "Elegance" T-shape lamps which I imagine people used instead.

I vaguely remember selling these in Homebase years ago. I don't think we stocked them for very long mind!

Brilliant find and apparently they should be brouht back to production since everyone is on their phones, tablets, PCS and laptops waaay more than back in the day these lamps were being produced
