Westinghouse 175w /DX
Here's a NOS Westy 175w DX merc cleartop that I think was made in the 70s (Date Code 13). It also has a full frame and thicker phosphor than my 175w Sylvanias from the 80s. 

Got this in a trade with Aaron, thanks again xD.

Yep I did, ran it for about an hour.

Cool, I guess we all need some HID setup indoors...if I can find a MV fixture of 175w or less it'll go in my room...the 400w MH I have is too bright...
A_lights   [Feb 16, 2013 at 01:01 AM]
175W really is a good amount of light for a room ! and right now my wall-pack has a slightly dimmed/greened out westy lifeguard
GEsoftwhite100watts   [Feb 16, 2013 at 01:12 AM]
Coated or clear?
A_lights   [Feb 16, 2013 at 01:22 AM]
coated /DX (which i prefer)
GEsoftwhite100watts   [Feb 16, 2013 at 01:24 AM]
Cool, is it lit right now?
A_lights   [Feb 16, 2013 at 01:27 AM]
nope, i am on the computer downstairs, don't have a laptop or one in my room unfortunately, right now 2 fixtures lit are modern deco F22/32W circlines with Phillips 830 lamps
GEsoftwhite100watts   [Feb 16, 2013 at 01:29 AM]
Ahh I see...
In this room there's lots of lit florescents!
A_lights   [Feb 16, 2013 at 01:34 AM]
more light the better! IMO Very Happy
GEsoftwhite100watts   [Feb 16, 2013 at 01:37 AM]
Same here! Don't make me drag out the 400w MH Laughing
streetlight98   [Feb 16, 2013 at 02:28 AM]
yeah i like a lot of light fixtures but with a huge switch bank so the amount of light can be adjusted to what i need. for instance, have four lamp fixtures with two separate circuts and have every other fixture on a different circut too so in total there are four switches, one for circut 1A, one for 1B, one for 2A, and one for 2B. i like adjustable lighting. Surprised
joe_347V   [Feb 16, 2013 at 04:52 AM]
Well in my room I usually only run lamps up to 200w since my room gets pretty stuffy with higher wattages running, I also like having variable amounts of light too.
GEsoftwhite100watts   [Feb 17, 2013 at 02:18 AM]
Unless you count Joseph's 400w BonusLine...
streetlight98   [Feb 17, 2013 at 03:23 AM]
Speaking of Bonusline/Life Guard Lamps, McCann Lightong's Mercury vapor lamp spec sheet was jsut posted! the ML version of the lifeguard lamp is the SuperArc™ lamp. SuperArc™ is also the term used for ML's standby arc-tube HPS lamps.
GEsoftwhite100watts   [Feb 17, 2013 at 03:44 AM]
So it's an extended-life mercury-vapor lamp?
joe_347V   [Feb 17, 2013 at 04:33 AM]
I hardly run any lamp over 250w now, way too bright and hot.
A_lights   [Feb 17, 2013 at 05:48 AM]
Imagine a bonus line or lifeguard dual arctube standby lamp Shocked Cool
streetlight98   [Feb 17, 2013 at 01:50 PM]
That would outlive the fixture and the owner! Shocked Laughing
joe_347V   [Feb 17, 2013 at 06:41 PM]
Shocked 60+ year life.
GEsoftwhite100watts   [Feb 17, 2013 at 06:42 PM]
I want a 175w /W cleartop one of those! Laughing Shocked
