Hello Dear Collectors,
It?s the first time I post any message in this Forum from a year ago that I visited this fabulous site at first time.
I?m an Spanish collector and started collecting bulbs when I was a child. I always was very interested on all kind of electric and electronic things, especially I was fascinated about electric lighting and light bulbs (in Spanish we say "Bombillas").
Over the years, my collection was growing (and continue too) with all types of electric lamps: incandescent, discharge, (fluorescent tubes, HID's, glow bulbs, Geissler tubes, etc) most of times from Spanish manufacturers. I'm especially interested in such lampes made by
those Spain based brands that went out of business some years ago and today are quite scarce to obtain, and became true rarities, not only by its intrinsical constructive characteristics but due to the fact that them were not widely spreaded out of our country. Of course, I'm interested about all kind of lamps no matter where came from or what age would be. If it?s a bulb it's interesting for me.

I hope this Forum will be very useful to me, allowing me to get in touch with many other bulb collectors and technicians around the World, to share knowledgements and experiences.
Thanks Tim!
Sincerely: M?nico Gonz?lez

Hi M?nico and welcome to the forums.  I am not familiar with any Spanish lamp manufacturers - can you give us some examples of those that you are interested in?  Maybe I?ve seen them before and was not aware they were Spanish made.
