Bright from the Start: GE's very odd light bulb (Patreon)

Good (time period)!

I've got a new video for ya today, and it was possible thanks to you in more ways than one! I was getting stuck in my research on why exactly enclosed CFLs had such poopy cold start performance, and folks in the Discord server were able to hook me up with a paper which confirmed the thread I was pulling on.

As ever, this started out more simply than it ended up being. But in many ways this is a classic episode - while this is ostensibly about this weird light bulb, you'll learn a lot about fluorescent light technology (as I did, too!)

I was thinking I might release this tomorrow but that might be in poor taste. So I'll hold off until Monday and be an anti-April Fools person. I may work on captions tonight if I have time but that might have to wait until tomorrow.
