Explanation:
I think the لمبة بلحة is the candle bulb (http://hylight.en.alibaba.com/product/50039429/50178645/Gene... ), so called because of its date shape.

On the other hand, this site http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=howTo&p=BuyGuide/Light... calls it a bullet/torpedo bulb (the candle bulb is more pointy, flame-shaped)
