Last post (at least for a while) on light bulbs. This time on two old style lamps and a newer compact fluorescent light bulb.

I don't think I properly explained why I been photographing light bulbs lately. It is simply because I want to do my part in documenting the old style light bulbs. The old incandescent light bulb has been in common use for over a hundred years and now thanks to EU they're being phased out (The EU has prohibited the manufacturing and importation of the light bulbs). So the next generation of citizens in EU will probably not use them at all and will only have photos like these to show them what they looked like.

When I photographed the old light bulb I took the time to also photograph its replacement - The compact fluorescent lamp.

The old and common light bulb is a technology that is being phased out here in the EU. So I'm taking the time to photograph them while they are still common and easy to get hold of. The light bulb below is a 25 Watt bulb and it was backlit by a 50 Watt halogen lamp.
