The ETH bulb would have been used for calibrating an early bench-type photometer - a device used until around the 1930s to measure the luminous intensity of other lamps. The markings on the side of the glass are known as Fiducial Marks, and are used t...

Re: I'd like help indentifying this industrial bulb

Sun, 05 Jul 2009 05:01:15 GMT

This is a fairly old marine signalling lamp used on military ships, known as the Sperry Lamp. The base is a special pre-focussed type known as the Sperry Block, I believe the name comes from the manufacturer of the searchlight equipment. It is rated ...

Hmmm, that's odd... It's either made for industrial applications for the people down under. (like the toilet water swirling backwards)

I've re-lamped all of my C-6 bubblers using this very same technique! It works great!

Re: Radko's Bubble Light Repair

I have an instant "boiling" hot water dispenser in my kitchen sink. If I put some in a cup and let the Radko tube soak for a few minutes, it comes out; but, you have to "wiggle" the tube back and forth to remove it from the plastic.

These were never used for advertising the Radko bubblers; they were for personal use and at one time could be purchased. They are a reproduction of the Noma display.

Re: powering old lights safely and cheaply

The simplest method is to use a slliding lamp dimmer from Wal-Mart or Target and utilize that. Once your C-6 lights or bubblers are warmed up, dim the lights and they will last for years to come!!

Royal manufactured the same lights in the 1950s. I have two sets that belonged to my father, also. The transformer has a fuse that can be replaced; it's a SFE 4 amp automobile fuse. The side panel of the box states: 15 watts, 60 cycles, with a secon...
