When you’ve got a bright idea, but it’s only half baked…💡 (Half blacked out light bulb by Edison Swan Electric Co)

When you have a bright idea, but it’s also messy and complicated…💡😖

I need to know what kind of lightbulb this is! It’s amazing!

Hi Jason. This is a Sashlite Tungsten filament light bulb made by General Electric Co, c.1935. It's a flash-bulb for taking photographs. It's the size of a regular light bulb and there were warnings in the packet not to confuse the two or it may just explode!
