This bulb has the lighting equivalent of a modern 8-12W bulb.

Carbon-filament light bulbs debuted in the 1890s and lit the way until 1912, when the bright and powerful tungsten-filament bulbs transformed the industry.

Painted bulbs, introduced in the 1920s, added a decorative touch to tungsten bulbs and the exposed-bulb fixtures popular at the time.
