Let’s take a little trip back in time with the Department of Luminous Lighting. Redditor boomboomsaIoon shared a photo of this awesome light bulb containing a neon rose that they find in the attic at work.
“It’s an Aerolux neon bulb, the light rose model. Aerolux bulbs were manufactured from 1938 to 1974, and this one is estimated to be from the 1940s.“
This photo shows what the rose looks like in a working Aerolux lamp:
Redditor syco54645 shared a photo of their own Aerolux containing neon violets:

WHY DID THEY STOP MAKING THESE?! I WANT SOME RIGHT NOW. QUICKLY.
*nods* Someone could make a pretty penny bringing these back.
