These bulbs are better public lighting than LEDs and last for many years.

Bro is reincarnated Thomas Edison

a tip on where to find these black tip fluorescents more easily, especially Westinghouse which are my favorites!! you have amazing lamps in your collection

I have one I used two five watt bulbs in it

The best macbook

I'd be too tempted to retro-fit that with mercury gear and run it with a clear lamp. Is the lens assembly acrylic or polycarbonate? That would be the deciding factor.

I remember when the first 70W HPS light fixtures came out almost 50 years ago. You could always tell by the orangish color, even from an airplane.

I think those Hunter originals in the church are R&M type

What does straight light be too bright to show off turned on while the ceiling fan was up there?

I have one. Well used. I once had it installed on the house. It is 70 watt metal halide. Yours would be better with a GE Lucalox than this crappy Sylvania Luma-SUX! They made horrible HPS lamps that don’t have amalgam reservoirs and practically burn out in what seems to be e about 50 hours! 😩 Total and utter CRAP bulbs! Sylvania never could do HID worth a crap 💩! The fixture is nice though! The spring in the Luma-Sux lamp makes them “look” high quality, but they are junk. I had enough experience with them to be able to tell you that. Any HPS lamp with amalgam reservoirs is trash. I guess the metal halide pulse start version like the one I have is pretty rare. The ballast can rub 75-100 watt mercury lamps with the igniter disconnected. Anyway, cheers!

Compared to the GE m250r and the cooper OVH be side it that’s a tiny streetlight. But still a cool little streetlight

I ran into one of these bad boys at antique store recently. It was one of the UV-emitting suntan models, not for general illumination. It looked really cool, but I don't think the seller knew what they had on their hands, as it was running in a regular desk lamp, and it was insanely hot. It was of course belching out UV light, so I didn't mess with it for very long.

Is it safe to install these and plug street lights fixtures inside your garage or home cuz I have one?

That light fixture will make a perfect yard light at camp!👍👍👍

I have always wondered who manufactured those fixtures. Hoping I can find one for my collection someday!

I think I have seen these at places such as schools, hotels, hospitals, apartment buildings, concession buildings and restroom buildings in parks, hospitals, university campuses, office buildings, and other places.

Be careful with that in a small space, these things put out alot of uv.

I'm sure I remember seeing these somewhere in Australia, or maybe an advertisement in an electrical wholesalers catalogue in the day. Cheers

That’s such a cool fixture! I like how it is so versatile in how it can be mounted. I could see something like a retail store just ordering a bunch of these to tackle their outdoor lighting instead of individual types of fixtures. They could mount them on arms for the parking lot lights, mount them to the side of the building for lighting around the store, and mount them to the ceiling for any covered areas they may have.

I've been waiting for this :D

Surprised the total watts on your meter read so low at full brightness.

Good video

Some old technology

I bought these but they keep going out? Any help on what could be a solution?

0:50 blue?

What colour are they off camera?

0:27 nice

0:27 nice .

Should've done a cool down

Is it just me or did the bulb seem to glow neon yellow before you shut it off

Its been a dream of mine to own a hps light. I have wanted one for as long as i was a kid.. never could afford one. Still can't afford one. Oh well maybe in my afterlife i can get one. I even tried asking the city for one and they laughed at me.....

I got the inside frost version recently. These are wonderful bulbs! Good quality and very bright! I love the etches on them too!

For those of you whose fan has a fixed knob and a hole that's too small, I heated a nail over the stove using some pliers and very carefully enlarged the whole around the pin by melting the plastic away so now I can remove the casing like in the video. Just make sure you're doing it in a well ventilated space.

we used to use an old Hanovia lamp with a woods glass filter as a Magnaflux lamp. Very dangerous lamp if you're not careful.

I have one of these exact yardblaster security lights, but managed to convert it to 175W M57 probe start metal halide using a European low voltage 2 wire parallel soft ignitor to assist with starting probe start metal halide lamps without the need to change the ballast.

That Hanovia lamp looks like it has a UV-C germicidal bulb, which you have to be very careful with because exposure to it will damage your skin and eyes.

Fantastic video! You found some really neat light bulbs and fixtures. Thanks for sharing!

Awesome 😮 is really beautiful

Try to run it without the envelope

Need to get one

Will you convince Lasko to make the ones from the 1990s again?

beast of a lamp..

The Sears Die-Hard bulb is indeed Westinghouse, and is a DC-17 shape Super Bulb. The actual Westinghouse branded version was rated 3000 hours. This one madd specifically for Sears is twice that, so 6000 hours, with a reduction in lumens for the Sears version, obviously. These are filled with Krypton gas, which is the most expensive substance on earth, so Westinghouse designed the DC-17 bulb to reduce internal volume to use less of the insanely expensive gas, compared to regular And “Eye saving” T shaped bulbs. These are pretty rare bulbs, and Super Bulbs are not very common either! I have one of the Sylvania fixtures like this! Mine is well used, and is 70 watt metal halide. Yours is obviously new old stock. Mine only has the wall mount bracket that positions the fixture like a street light against the wall. Got it in 1999 off a store we gutted out for a remodel in Massachusetts. Cheers!

I almost wonder if the Alleykat came from another lighting collector. That would explain why it was installed indoors and came with all the mounting pieces. But then again, why would they want to get rid of such a cool fixture?

Good!¡

DDR is probably The former West Germany. After WW-2 Germany was divided and occupied. The Russian occupation zone was the eastern half of the country, and they forcibly installed a communist government. The part of the country that was occupied by the British, French, and US became in 1949 West Germany, with a freely elected democratic government. To make sure their products weren't boycotted, they were marked West Germany and in the early years added "Non-Communist". Finally, in 1991, after 46 years, they were reunited.

Yup fantastic collection of lightbulbs & halogen lamp adapters! Cool MV wallpack light & a cool MV desk light you scored there! 🙂🙂

That Hanovia lamp is awesome!
