Like this?
I could use then in my 'old pictures' project with 1969 FP3 and Nettar.
Or should I just carry them very carefully to the sea?

Sell them on ebay. There is a market for them.
I have hundreds of bulbs left by my father-in-law
I should either use them or sell them. _________________ I like Pentax DSLR's, Exaktas, M42 bodies of all kinds, strange and cheap Japanese lenses, and am dabbling in medium format/Speed Graphic work. |

I gave them all away. But you have seen many already, before the advent of electronic strobes you had to use bulbs. Some of my favourites are Gottlieb's pictures of jazz musicians from the late 40s-50s.
"Today's photographers, armed with automatic film winders, shutter speed and focus, expensive flash units and high-speed film, would probably have predicted failure for Mr. Gottlieb. He took only two or three photographs per session, in part because flash bulbs were so expensive. To conserve film, yet catch the best moments, Mr. Gottlieb would wait until the second or third chorus, when the music and emotion became most intense, he said"

I find bulbs give a more even lighting than strobes, and don't flatten out features as much. One of many examples, taken from the resources linked above.

I doubt that you would find photographers like that these days, to those that thought like that it was a passion, and they were at the pinnacle of the photographic world. They understood completely what they wanted, and they were prepared to get it.
Today we shoot hundreds of digital images at a time, we chimp, we discard. We might get exactly what we first envisaged.
Those guys were photographic heroes. _________________ LENSES & CAMERAS FOR SALE.....
