SIMPLY AMAZING AEROLUX ELECTRIC FLOWER BULBS

From the 1930s through the 1970s, Aerolux Light Corporation produced these amazing novelty light bulbs that contained sculptural filaments in the shape of flowers, birds, and myriad other designs that would illuminate in differently

Inside the glass bulb the filaments were shaped into delicate metal flowers and messages that lit up brightly when powered. The effect is really amazing and unique!

They use about 3-5 watts of power. The bulbs had high yield of light produced versus electricity consumed, generally in the range of 50-60 lumens/watt, compared to 12-18 lumens/watt for a tungsten filament incandescent bulb.
