Great Find! Dave, are these from the ebay lot listed on L-G?
gailgrove   [Aug 30, 2011 at 06:47 PM]
Wow! Nice find!
Silverliner14B   [Aug 30, 2011 at 09:14 PM]
@Joe yep its from the seller mentioned on L-G.

@Jace what do you mean? One or all is yours? Razz
streetlight98   [Aug 30, 2011 at 09:18 PM]
Origional box too or a newer one?
mercuryvaporrocks   [Aug 30, 2011 at 09:19 PM]
I have some BT shaped Westinghouse mercury vapor lamps from the 70's but they're used.
streetlight98   [Aug 30, 2011 at 09:22 PM]
These lamps are two months older than my NOS M-400. Seems a lot of good finds are from '73. Very Happy
Silverliner14B   [Aug 31, 2011 at 01:39 AM]
Yep original box. Sealed shut for 38 years until I got it!
xmaslightguy   [Aug 31, 2011 at 01:54 AM]
Cool find Cool
Silverliner14B   [Aug 31, 2011 at 01:42 PM]
The seller has more of this, go ahead and buy some if you like! Click here.
gailgrove   [Aug 31, 2011 at 01:44 PM]
Too bad they want $147 to ship a case here Rolling Eyes
streetlight98   [Aug 31, 2011 at 02:35 PM]
Shipping is $11 to Rhode Island, but I don't have $68 put aside for these beauties. I wouldn't want twelve anyways. After all, they're lifeguard lamps. And on the listing it says H-39 or H-22, what's H-22? The seller is in Maryland so The Gull can buy a case and fly it to you Niall. Laughing
TiCoune66   [Aug 31, 2011 at 02:52 PM]
H22 is the former ballast code, before H39.

400W mercury for example was H1 before!
joe_347V   [Aug 31, 2011 at 06:12 PM]
Yeah too bad they only sell per case and shipping is too expensive. Confused

And here's a fun fact: H-4 is today's H-38
streetlight98   [Aug 31, 2011 at 06:24 PM]
Hmm. Did they change the code because the ballast characteristicts changed?
Silverliner14B   [Aug 31, 2011 at 07:38 PM]
ANSI assigned new ballast codes to identify the new reduced blackening mercury lamps introduced in the late 50s. Other than that, there isn't anything different in electrical values. In 1972 ANSI revised the ordering code that omitted the old ballast code and included the lamp wattage. Lamp manufacturers gradually updated to the new codes during the following 5 years.

@gailgrove and Joe, if you want to trade for 1-2 of these mercs, hit me up on PM!
gailgrove   [Sep 01, 2011 at 01:07 PM]
Dave you can call me Niall. Wink And I'll see, I may be interested in one.
gmercury2000   [Oct 02, 2016 at 07:27 PM]
Nice, did you find these on eBay? I wonder if they came from the same seller that had cases of /C lamps.
Silverliner14B   [Oct 02, 2016 at 07:54 PM]
Yes got them on the bay, but it was a different seller.
gmercury2000   [Oct 03, 2016 at 02:39 AM]
Ok, couldn't remember as it was several years ago now. I did snag a case of the /C lamps when they were available.
NiMo   [Oct 04, 2016 at 03:13 AM]
On the ANSI ballast codes, there are two different types for 1000 watt MV lamps. 36-15 and 34-12.
