Hey, guys!
I've actually had this light bulb for a while now, but just last night, I used to paper clips to create a clip for the bulb. When I got it, all it came with was the bulb and ballast; it didn't come with the plastic clip that's supposed to hold the bulb in place. I just had it hanging on the wire before, but with the paper clips, it looks much better (and safer ;D). Anyway, it is a TCP circline fluorescent bulb and TCP ballast; the bulb is warm white and uses 18 watts (75W equivalent I believe). This bulb is pretty neat!
Here it is, currently in my laundry room ;D :
You can see the paper clip holders I made
:
Here it is on:
It creates a nice light in combination with the other fluorescent fixture in there
:
I know this type of bulb was popular in 1950s light fixtures a lot, and you see them in ceiling fans sometimes. Enjoy!
