      That’s a great question, Hammad. This part of the exhibit was comparing the efficiency of LED bulbs as opposed to standard incandescent bulbs. If I remember right, 7640 Series bulbs are used on beacons, such as vehicle warning lights,

      Yes, it is! As many times as I’ve been to the Henry Ford Museum, I still find interesting things to photograph every time I go. 😊
