The GE Reveal CFLs seem rare, I usually only see them in soft white or daylight. I did find a reveal one today tho. It had a pink hue to it. I probably saw 2700K or 6500K GE HELICAL CFLs, they also made uncommon versions like 4100K or Reveal.
I have lots of LEDs in my apartment, I have Great Value 5000K LED light bulbs 60W equivalent, I actually like LEDs. I only have 2 incandescents left, rest are LEDs.
They have a built in fuse they are made to be pointed at a 90° angle its actually not blown the fuze inside the bulb well trigger it as its a built in safety mechanism, wait at least 15min before you turn it on again.. turning it upside down or on an angel well trip the bulb lol
I absolutely LOVE the 36" Hunter Original! Back when we had Sizzler Steakhouse in the Midwest, the one in my neighborhood had four 52" Originals with the same brass/brown motor housing, but they had Reverse-Air blade brackets, and were always set to "updraft," even in summer, as they still circulated the cool air without too much breeze.
The black shiny substance at the bottom of the bulb is a getter that absorbs any imperfections in the vacuum. Getters are usually made out of barium. Also, I believe that black foam piece is a gasket for when you are mounting it to an electrical box. It helps prevent moisture from getting in to your box.
GE's "Edison" range was their range of halogen light bulbs that used standard linear halogen capsules like ones you would find in a motion activated security light or work light.
@@JacobsElectronics It doesn’t give me any instructions it just tells me to type my Profile Name and Favorite light but it won’t give me anywhere to type it
@@HIDLad001 I use a Nice-Power 30v 10a supply. It's perfect for the stuff I use it for. A lot of electrical channels I watch use Nice-Power so I went with one and haven't had any problems so far. This is the link - cutt.ly/t9Xv4of
I’ve replicated the ms104 fixture with thin gauge sheet metal and a homemade metal brake. I used a Robertson l48 ballast which overdrives the bulb but mounts perfect with the mounting bolts for the lamp holders
Never knew these existed! Would have deserved more popularity, as slow warmup was major shortcoming with CFLs. But, now it is time for leds to shine and let that be a nice novelty piece of vintage.
There was never really any real advertising for them. I think GE released them first and other companies just started hoping on the trend. No one really knew about them.
