Laughing They were trying to clear them out so I decided to get four of them Razz

To answer your question on the date stamp, there should be on the E26 cap.
DimBulb   [Oct 24, 2010 at 09:21 PM]
I'd really stock up on these if I had a chance!

@rjluna2 Mine seems to say C0604 on the cap.

I have 2 of those....very used though......in fact only one since I took apart one...it actually uses the same ballast as a regular PL 13 watt one!!! And the date is June 2004! Those aren't that old...but based on older design....That's what Dave told me! Note the GE logo is a after 1989 design!

@Jace thanks for the date and info, I wonder if you can stick a PL13 quad in after the lamp fails since you said they use the same ballast.
GullWhiz   [Oct 25, 2010 at 01:02 AM]
You won't be able to "stick" a PL in...but you can take ballast out and reuse it on PL 13 watt......but let me tell you...when you take ballast out....the inside plastic may be brittle like mine.......

Apparently, I may have an older version of FLB17 Very Happy

What about two 7 watt PLs? They would be shorter, wouldn't they?
joe_347V   [Apr 02, 2012 at 02:33 AM]
Hmm, I believe the OCV isn't high enough for two PL7s in series to strike and there isn't enough space for a second ballast. Maybe just the tube from a PL 13 quad will fit.
GEsoftwhite100watts   [Apr 02, 2012 at 02:40 AM]
Or the tube from a spiral CFL? Would that work on preheat?

Awesome lamps these are....like the Philips *SL's and the PL13 adapters, it's always worth stocking up if you find them. I bought a whole case off eBay a while ago...I have two lamps in nightly use and a third used occasionally and I probably should put a few in my will since they'll outlive me.

Who will you will them to? LOL
