Philips WESTINGHOUSE LAMPS F40T12
This caught my eye. I'm sorry for the crappy quality. there were a bunch of these rapid start strips that weren't powered up. I assume maybe they're used for nighttime lighting? Some were missing a lamp and others had clearly EOL lamps but some like this one has like-new lamps that were clearly old. This was at a huge indoor flea market and no, no interesting lights for sale. :-(

I looked at the thumbnail and thought, "Did Mike REALLY finally get a slimline?!" Laughing
These are nice lamps, try to get them if you can! I had the next (totally Philips) generation in that house in Atascadero and wish I'd taken them when I moved out as of now. I even went to ReStore that same trip, I should've looked for some PVC pipe to ship them in! Surprised

The title flat-out says F40T12 Razz Laughing Yeah they look nice. The etch is actually reddish-brown, not black, which is interesting. Nah I'll probably never be back here again. Some of them had lifelines, other has 34W Sylvania SuperSavers, some had Altos, others no-name lamps, but no Westie blackenders.

I've seen the red-brown etch too, I think mine were like that. I thought that before I saw the title... Laughing
I believe this tube was made at the Lynn, Massachusetts Norelco factory, like mine were. Also, like mine were, there's no letter/number code, so sadly I can't date this for you.
This is really a "Philips-NOT-Westinghouse" lamp as I'm pretty darn sure that Lynn plant was never actually owned by Westinghouse. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, though. Cool
