1-900-VERY-FAMOUS: Aerolux Lightbulbs and an LED Liberace
Hellllllllllo everybody đ
Very Famous published a beautiful mall article last week! Thank you to Josh for speaking with usâhe is digitally rebuilding a humungous fairytale mall that existed outside Denver, Colorado, from 1968 to 1998. This got lots of exciting nostalgic comments that I’ll approve if they’re nice ones!! Thank you to everyone who chimed in, EVEN the person who curtly suggested they can’t see the cyan links. Well, I changed it to a deep purple baby, how about that.
Love and peace,
Kelsey

These little beauties were made by the Aerolux Light Company from the 1930s through 1970s. They were a mix of neon and argon, and the tiny metal sculptures inside the bulbs were coated with phospors to create different color effects. The president of Aerolux was Philip Kayatt, who created some of the first neon lights on Broadway.
