I considered soldering hidden wires to the contacts, but chose a different way to make the picture. Any other guesses?How is the bulb connected to power ? . The Edison screw seems to be not socketed.
Maybe some direct wiring to the contact points .... wiring that is not visible in the pic ?

It would be very easy to eliminate the reflection, but I included it intentionally to produce a more dimensional (and therefore more realistic) image. How would you suggest I alter the reflection?I find the reflection at the bottom somewhat distracting and I think you should eliminate it.
Cool! I used to take vacuum tubes that had gone bad, and would replace the filaments with a 120v neon bulb, then build a base with the tube socket on top. I love it when people come up with ideas like this!
Interesting idea! The bulbs do indeed continue to glow after power is removed, but only for about one second and they get quite dim for most of that time. This approach might work, but timing would be critical.Not certain on the first exposure, but the second could be after power is removed. The filaments will still glow.
Getting warmer!Multiple photos....with and without the light on...then some photo stacking magic......maybe!

How did you insert the neon bulb?
