Recent HID Lamp Finds [Open to see more]
Here's some of my recent HID lamp finds being tested. The first pic is a 1kW /DX Philips merc lamp that I found new at a antique mall (for less than what eBay sold them for too) being testing. Oddly the etch is on the side instead of the BT "knob".

1kW Eye MH lamp from the surplus store which looks like it's been slightly used.

They also had a 100w MH, a B2255, some GE LED traffic light modules, some fluorescent ballasts, and some incandescents and CFLs. Didn't get the other stuff though. Apparently they also had a couple of smaller cobras but someone bought them...

175w Sylvania /DX MV lamp, was a eBay find. I think these are mostly used in old style floodlights and in some recessed cans. There's a bunch of similar Westy reflector lamps on eBay if you want one. Shown here running on a yardlight ballast.

very nice finds! there is a 1KW MV in a floodlight at one of the AutoZone stores i replaced wallpacks on today, maybe i can score the lamp and fixture if i get to do the pole retrofits in the bucket truck
also i have been getting a 404 error when uploading, i have also made sure to reduce file size

Thanks Aaron! I hope you could score the lamp and fixture too, especially if it's a vintage cleartop.

Anyway, I think if you stay under 1mb the file upload should be fine but if it still dosen't work it could be an issue related to the site.

Wow, i like these! Yeah I saw the Westy Lifeguard r40s on ebay, I might just have to get a few.

do you have a link for the reflector lamp on ebay?
Tmcdllr   [Jul 19, 2013 at 01:53 AM]
Search for "Westinghouse mercury vapor" and scroll down, you will see them.

Here's the link in case anyone else wants one.

They were cheaper than what I remembered to so I just bought a lot of 2. Cool

wow nice stuff Joe! Seems you've been getting lucky with the HID lamps lately. Smile

Thanks Mike, Cool I think Aaron will get his sooner than mine since his dosen't have to go through customs but I'll post a pic of mine when it gets here.

The R40 mercs are still made too, but they cost almost 30 bucks each. Shocked
