While taking a breather from that, I pulled out this group of fascinating old light bulbs that arrived with the equipment from <a href=\"https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/2023\/06\/30\/digging-for-treasure-at-the-remains-of-movietech-studios\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MovieTech Studios<\/a> and thought I would share them. The boxes are very fragile, but many of them are intact. Most of the light bulbs look like they are from the 1940\u2019s and have never been used. I\u2019m not sure what each and every one is for, but most of them look like they are for projectors or small movie lights. I didn\u2019t have time to look any of them up, but I thought the Radiant Lamp boxes were particularly cool. Anyway, just something neat I thought I would share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/lightbulbs-1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"803\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"1923\" src=\"https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/lightbulbs-1-803x1024.jpg\" alt=\"A collection of vintage light bulbs of various styles and sizes\" class=\"wp-image-1923\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/lightbulbs-1-803x1024.jpg 803w, https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/lightbulbs-1-235x300.jpg 235w, https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/lightbulbs-1-768x979.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/lightbulbs-1.jpg 847w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 803px) 100vw, 803px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/lightbulbs-2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"1924\" src=\"https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/lightbulbs-2-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"A stack of 1940's Radiant Lamp Corp. light bulbs\" class=\"wp-image-1924\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/lightbulbs-2-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/lightbulbs-2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/lightbulbs-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/lightbulbs-2-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/lightbulbs-2.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/lightbulbs-3.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"1925\" src=\"https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/lightbulbs-3-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"A close-up of the label on a 1940's Radiant Lamp Corp. light bulb box\" class=\"wp-image-1925\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/lightbulbs-3-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/lightbulbs-3-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/lightbulbs-3-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/lightbulbs-3-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/lightbulbs-3.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Much of this week was taken up with doing the final inspection of several cameras so they are ready to go to their new homes, and I didn\u2019t have time to document this process in all the chaos.
