I remember there used to be a couple ACE PAR lamps at my Mom's house that must have been Philips-made judging by the etch but they burned out...and got replaced by GE-made ACE ones...
GEsoftwhite100watts: The other GE Ace's I have are modern green-etch type
And I just had a pair of the green-etch ones last less than 20 minutes! (I think; will try them in another light later). Any ideas why they would suddenly fade out, flicker/strobe a bit for a minute, then just glow at the ends? I've wiggled them in their sockets (while on) but that still doesn't help...haven't tried them in another light yet, though.
I'd try them on an electronic IS ballast & see if they've lost vacuum or something...
Is the fixture this lamp pictured above in a Power Products shoplight? Mine (with the old Philips lamps) have that USE STANDARD 40 WATT LAMPS ONLY. ENERGY SAVING LAMPS MAY TRIP AUTOMATIC RESETTING THERMAL CUTOUT sticker as well.
I don't remember what the shoplight used in this pic was. Could easily be a Power Products one
Xmaslight, can you look at a Power Products light if you have one and get a pic? Then I can tell if they're like the ones at my house...
I'll have to look & see if I can find that light (I know its laying around somewhere, just not suer of its exact location)
Oh and BTW I went to a ReStore today for the first time and scored some nice old LOA preheat CFLs!
