As part of one of those strings you see hung up at events.
If there are any other purposes for this bulb, can you please let me know as it is quite an interesting subject for me.

The flashing lights on a level crossing were until recently 24v 36w clear lamps shining through a red lens. These days most have been replaced by red LEDs.
