Probably my favourite tungsten lamps of this era

Good that you've saved this lamp, Pearl Mushrooms are rare especially at 150 watts

Now that is extra rare since that is 150W, I only got 100W as the highest mushroom bulb with pearl coating

In which frequency this lamp turned on and off? I've never seen an incandescent lamp with a tungsten filament and 2700K colour that lasting so long.
European incandescent lamps usually have 1000 hours life and the ones filled with krypton have 1 year life on base-up.

@ dor123: According to Simon, it was in use sometime for a while in the 1960s in the workroom fixture, then he took it out of service during the 1960s and therefore kept it unlit in his collection still to this day Smile
