Playing with fire

I have been experimenting with different types of lights with High voltage flyback transformer .
In the photos i am using a 50v 20MA old light globe i got 30 years ago (took me this long to play with it !)
But got it to light via the spark i tried it with a few other newer lower voltage ones and had no luck lighting them so far ,i have never seen this done before apart from fluros neons never with a filament globe .
One i got a sort of dull green glow at best i am thinking it must have a tiny amount of some gas init ....tried some broken filament light bulbs ,i was expecting a spark across the broken filament but nothing again at best i could see the electrons just filling all the space in the globe trying this .
BTW as i found out any closer than 30cm taking photos or more so video the camera plays up
