philips SL*18 globe made in usa! Heres a rare philips SL*18 globe made in usa. I thought i have never seen one, but i suddenly recognized this design as i have seen some at a bookstore back in the 80s as they gradually replaced the incandescent globes, now i know they are philips lol. They went back to incandescent in the 90s though... this one was made in june 1985. Keywords: Lamps

Preheat or electronic?

Ooo four months older than my Philips SR*18 75W= lamp. Cool

All SR*18 are electronic.....

I have two of them, one from 1991 and one from 1992.....one is a reflector style and other is a plastic cover style thingy LOL

philips did make the SL*17 globe with magnetic ballast at one time in the 90s though. by the way the SL*18 globe here turns out to be instant start! it still needs the warm up time though.
streetlight98   [Jan 11, 2013 at 11:22 PM]
yeah same with my tubular shaped one.
GEsoftwhite100watts   [Jan 11, 2013 at 11:35 PM]
Do they just start out dim like my GE FLB/17 capsule or are they mercury starved at switch-on?
streetlight98   [Jan 12, 2013 at 12:13 AM]
Mine's just a little dim and it warms up. The older 80s CFLs has lots of yummy mercury in them unlike today's Curly Fry Lamps. Laughing
GEsoftwhite100watts   [Jan 12, 2013 at 01:02 AM]
Even the older CFLs with the fatter tubes (like GE Helicals, which still do) have more mercury than the tiny 13w ones smaller than a 60w incandescent...however those are entertaining to watch warm up! Much like HID only with no restrike time...
streetlight98   [Jan 12, 2013 at 01:57 AM]
I'd love to make a decorative chandelier HID with cram MH lamps! Do they make normal (non-reflector) MH lamps under 50W? Since chandeliers have multiple lamps, I'd use a lower wattage or let's say in a five lamp fixture, two would be reveal incandescent and the other three MH. The color temp differences would be a little tacky though so maybe combine the MH with a CFL similar in kelvin rating...

Supposedly a 35w ED17 metal halide lamp exists, but I've never seen one. If they were plentiful (and if the ballasts were too), I would surely convert my front yard 35w HPS fixtures.
GEsoftwhite100watts   [Jan 12, 2013 at 08:05 PM]
I think a 50w MV chandelier would be cool...with a 100w or 175w lamp in the middle downlight if there is one...
streetlight98   [Jan 12, 2013 at 08:30 PM]
I wouldn't want MV since the color isn't that great. It's impossible to find 50W MV stuff now, though i suppose with a pair of lamps they could be run in series off a 100W balast...
GEsoftwhite100watts   [Jan 12, 2013 at 08:59 PM]
I was thinking phosphor coated lamps and running them in series or for a 40/50w lamp supposedly a single lamp preheat F40T12 ballast will work....
Silverliner14B   [Jan 12, 2013 at 11:56 PM]
I would love a mercury chandelier! Fyi, the 50w merc lamp operates at 90v not 130v that the other merc watttages operate on.
GEsoftwhite100watts   [Jan 13, 2013 at 12:39 AM]
So a simple "choke" ballast would work even here in 120v mains land?
