253 .35 Amp Miniature Light Bulb

General Electric 253 Lens Ended Miniature Light Bulb GE’s incandescent lamps trace their ancestry to the world’s first practical electric bulb, invented by Thomas Alva Edison, founder in1879 of the company that became General Electric Company.In an incandescent lamp, light is generated by heating the filament to incandescence. The hotter the filament, the more efficient it is in converting electricity to light. However, when the filament operates hotter, its life is shortened so the design of each lamp is a balance between efficiency and life. This is why lamps of equal wattage may have different lumen ratings and different life ratings
