Here's a NOS Westy 175w DX merc cleartop that I think was made in the 70s (Date Code 13). It also has a full frame and thicker phosphor than my 175w Sylvanias from the 80s.
Thanks...The ends still look NOS to me, there's probably only some slight whitening on the end with the starting probe. The arctube still looks a lot better than the one on my Caster lamp.
Cool, I guess we all need some HID setup indoors...if I can find a MV fixture of 175w or less it'll go in my room...the 400w MH I have is too bright...
nope, i am on the computer downstairs, don't have a laptop or one in my room unfortunately, right now 2 fixtures lit are modern deco F22/32W circlines with Phillips 830 lamps
yeah i like a lot of light fixtures but with a huge switch bank so the amount of light can be adjusted to what i need. for instance, have four lamp fixtures with two separate circuts and have every other fixture on a different circut too so in total there are four switches, one for circut 1A, one for 1B, one for 2A, and one for 2B. i like adjustable lighting.
Well in my room I usually only run lamps up to 200w since my room gets pretty stuffy with higher wattages running, I also like having variable amounts of light too.

In this room there's lots of lit florescents!
