I Posted two pictures of the two brands of HG Electrodes on the market. The title of this Post is EGL mercury electrodes , I have not viewed any failures of the EGL type, was wondering if the responses of others seeing Whole sets of letters ruined , what brand of caplet HG electrode was on the lamps ?

an old timer who has since passed on, once said or lamented , Tubes go into tires,,, bulbs go in the ground,,, THEY'RE CALLED LAMPS !! referring to the correct terminology of a neon tube,,, strike that, neon lamp. (Marc, is the old timer correct?)
