Default GEC Genura

Oh, and by the way, they're "GE" Genuras, not "GEC" (completely
unrelated companies, the latter of which went from being britain's
largest private employer in early 1980's with a large cash mountain
(for the time) to completely bankrupt 20 years later.

GEC's lighting division was GEC Osram, but was sold back to the
Germans (from which it had been obtained after WWII) as part of
the GEC/Siemens collaborations sometime in the late 1980's.
(As a GEC employee, we used to be able to buy Osram bulbs
through staff discount until that happened.)
