Amazing ten-volt mercury discharge UVC lamp. (GTL3)

I thought it was maybe a listing error, but this little lamp really does run at about 10V when it's warmed up. It uses an internal filament with a thermally emmissive coating to lower the voltage at which a mercury discharge can occur.
Remember that this lamp puts out UVC light which can cause skin and eye damage by direct exposure.
