Does it have one of these labels?

If so, what are the numbers?  We don't have anything similar in the US

light 60w bulb.  Note that halogen are in class "D" while ordinary
bulbs are "E" or "F".

Could I trouble you to measure the approximate diameters?  I want to
calculate the relative surface areas.
