Intriguing lamp! Is its bulb made of mass-tinted glass?
Ria   [Sep 19, 2024 at 06:51 PM]
I believe so, yes. It doesn't appear to be any form of coating, anyway.

Which makes it all the more special. In your opinion, is that a "light version" of a black light blue incandescent lamp then?

It's certainly not a blacklight, it was used on submarines for night vision acclimatisation. It's similar to the ruby red ones which we also have, don't think I've re-uploaded that one, will have a look for it later.

I didn't say it was a blacklight lamp. I just wondered if this was a lighter version of it, i.e., with a glass bulb that has less nickel oxide, and as such transmits more (blue) light.

That could well be the case, but no way of telling for sure.
