Question...what the heck is a "festoon", and why does it need bulbs?

Are
we
talking outdoor lighting?


Double ended tubular bulbs, I think it's primarily British terminology.
Many automotive dome lights use them.

OH. Ok.. The dictonary wasn't helping because the defition for festoon is
either festive deocoration or feast.




So what is the USA name for filament bulbs that look like 1.25 inch or 20mm
fuses, so I can add to my "translator" file

Domelight
