Philips 100w brown/gold coloured GLS lamp A recent beauty found on Ebay - this lamp has quite a large envelope given it's only 100w. Natural coloured glass too, no lacquer anywhere to be found! I wonder what the purpose of this lamp was, as it's quite an unusual colour, almost reminiscent of a wine or olive oil bottle!

Wow, I've not seen one of these before

This is a more common colouring for LED filament lamps and antique replicas, rather than real antique or more modern incandescent lamps. I think it is an amber colouring

BTW: It is also possible that this amber colouring is actually a sputtered getter, and not an intentinal colouring, as the package or the etch don't says it is amber or coloured.

I think it's intentional, as the lamp itself appears to be made out of coloured glass and the effect is consistent. Maybe it is a photographic darkroom lamp?
