2000W Atlas incandescent GLS lamp

here is a very interesting lamp that I did not know any british manufacturer made (2Kw GLS lamps existed in Europe but until now there were no known british examples)

its a 2000W GLS lamp! they only list them from 15W to 1500W in Catalogs

so when I was made aware of this 2Kw beastie on ebay I just had to add it to the collection :)

its interesting too because those who are fortunate enough to own a NOS Atlas or Mazda etc 1500W Lamp know they come with a paper sleeve around the neck of the lamp with some basic installation instructions

however in very small print said paper sleeve has "1500/2000W" written on it as if to say "this is for 1500W and 2000W lamps" which was very interesting because as mentioned above no 2Kw GLS lamp was ever listed anywhere, so I did wonder if 2Kw lamps where made?

now I know they did indeed make them even if not officially listed in any catalogs
