Pete,
We call them "lamps" "tubes". In the UK they call them "valves". So do the rest of the European languages ("tube" in French, Valvula/Valvola in Spanish/Italian, Rohre in German (means "cylinder")).
The only languages that call them "lamps" are Slavic (Ukrainian, Russian).
So when using the Google, which probably will make "лампа" into "lamp" use "вакуумная трубка" или просто "трубка". This way you will fool Google into correct translation.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
