Sylvania H38-4HT Here's a nice Sylvania H38-4HT merc lamp that came in recently. I got from a place called ALC Audio for a pretty good price. It came with the original sleeve but it's in pretty bad shape. It looks exactly like my [url=http://www.galleryoflights.org/mb/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-6549]other[/url] Sylvania's sleeve though. Interestingly the etch and base on this one is in better condition than my other Sylvania. Thanks to Vince for finding a lead on this. Keywords: Lamps

Nice find! I have a couple just like this. I see the led bulb is that a philips 10.5w non-dimmable?
joe_347V   [Jan 12, 2013 at 11:56 PM]
Thanks Dave! and yeah that's a Philips 10.5w non dimmable in the back. Surprisingly bright for 10.5w too.

btw your lamp was made in 12/67, pretty old! Cool

'67 and not girder-framed? Interesting, did 100Ws get it later?

Thanks for the date, Dave.

SWEET! I like it!
Have you tried firing it up yet or are you keeping it NOS?

I have those philips led lamps in the house and are quite pleased with them. Very close to Incandescent feel. Also nice find on the clear merc. I'm trying to find a few for my merc fixtures.

Thanks Tony and Andy, right now both are still NOS but I might try firing up one of them up.

Those Philips LEDs are pretty good, if they were cheaper I might grab some more too.

As for the clear merc, I've seen the BT-25 versions show up from time to time on eBay.

Nice lamp for sure! You're finding all sorts of cool MV lamps!
joe_347V   [Jan 15, 2013 at 04:17 AM]
Found another 125w merc at Restore recently too. Seems to be a pretty recent one though.

Does it work? Got a ballast for it?

BT-25!
