Very unusual light bulb I recently acquired. An NDF Squirrel Cage CCFL light bulb - same tech that was in LCD monitor backlights, and scanner light sources. Never seen one as a bulb before

This is how they need to build these more often for the LED versions. The squirrel cage looks more like the originals and the tip is a great touch too!

That’s a pretty cool bulb! I don’t know if they were made in multiple different temps, but I googled it and came across this, it’s labelled 2300K

Yess! I had some very nice folks from NDF demo these for us when they were quite new, really nice tech and design. I think I remember them being connected to the former Philips lighting branch, maybe someone here knows.
The version of these bulbs I got shown had a bit trouble dimming in the first few percentages, but at full they were wonderful.
Still have the one in OP’s pic and also the big round one :slight_smile:
