Total Eclipse of the Bulb

September 9, 2010 12:19 AM

What are those A19 light bulbs with the silver in the center called?

This is merely a vocabulary question: I'm looking for indoor light bulbs that have the center obscured, as though the last third of the bulb has been dipped in silver... what are those called?

Thanks!

They are called half-mirror or silver bowl bulbs.
