🔍The GE Circlite energy saving lamp, produced since the 1960s, is an early energy-efficient alternative to incandescent lamps.
💡This lamp's magnetic ballast and starter plug are separate from the tube, allowing for replacement and customization.
🌈The phosphor formulation in the tube produces an oddly colored light, making colors appear strange and unnatural.
🔩Installing the lamp is complicated, requiring the removal of the shade, harp, and other parts of the lamp.
⏰The lifespan of the starter plug is uncertain, and it may be challenging to find a replacement once it fails.
