Currently on a rip out for a rewire and came across some of these bad boys! Belongs in a museum now I recon. 100W!

I've still got a 15w incandescent in my upstairs landing connected to a older flush pir

Tried a led on it but didn't work

Actually like the light from the incandescent and lamp seems to last forever

I wonder if I could source another if time ever comes

Found a full pack of ten 100W Philips B22s at the back of a shelf in my store the other day. Most of a box of 50W GU10s as well.

I’ve still got a card of fuse wire somewhere….. and a solitary 70W fluo starter.

This thread could go on for a while.

I've still got a wife. 1966 vintage. I've tried to replace with something more modern and more efficient but so far failed

Tungsten lamps are cool.
Here is a 100W GLS sat beside a 1000W GLS

And you certainly don't see many of these any more. Carbon filament, I don't know the wattage but it is rated 16 candle power. Probably 1920s, it still works.

And just because bigger is better, here is a 10,000W tungsten lamp. Draws ~40A the heat that comes off this lamp is incredible. I stood 2' away with my back to it the last time I powered it, after a few seconds I could smell it burning my clothes....

Remember picking up those 1000w lamps from somewhere in Wembly. The G in GES stood for Goliath and not Giant as many thought.

I got some lamps off amazon recently, did a quick search for ES vintage lamps and these popped up, I fitted them and though wow they dim really well compared to others I've fitted in the past, no flicker at all. Its only when I grabbed one of them that I realised they were fillament lamps and not LED's. Didn't think they could sell fillament lamps anymore.
