By Request: Preheat Aquarium Light From Dump
Hey Xmaslightguy, here's a photo of that fixture I was talking about.  I've since cleaned it up a bit and put in different lamps (I wanted daylight and wanted to preserve the Sylvania/GTE F40/Design 50 it came with, and didn't like the F15T12 Kitchen & Bath's color).  At least one starter is a really old Sylvania with the lightning-bolt-S logo.

Nice dumpster find Smile

Thanks! It helps my collection that I'm currently living within walking distance of the transfer station. What doesn't help is that I'm living in a 9X17 college dorm room shared with someone else, who thankfully tolerates my lighting junk).

I hope all goes well with your studies, GEsoftwhte100watts. I am still attending one class per semester since 2006 trying to finish my Bachelor degree.
GEsoftwhite100watts   [Oct 25, 2016 at 06:29 PM]
I sure hope so. The Math105N is killing me but otherwise I seem to be doing OK. I'm also right at the cusp of not being low income anymore but not high income so my financial aid could get messed up. We'll (me, myself, and I) just take it one semester at a time.
streetlight98   [Oct 26, 2016 at 12:00 AM]
What's Math 105N? I'm taking applied technical math now. Over the summer I had to take Elementary Algebra, which is basically high school math (algebra and geometry).
GEsoftwhite100watts   [Oct 26, 2016 at 12:11 AM]
Intensive intermediate algebra...
streetlight98   [Oct 26, 2016 at 01:43 AM]
ah OK. Those numerical codes are college-specific, so anyone not at your college won't know what the heck you're talking about lol. My math is called 1750 at CCRI and Elementary Algebra is 0600 at CCRI.
GEsoftwhite100watts   [Oct 26, 2016 at 02:26 AM]
Yeah, the numbering thing can be weird LOL. What's yours, also the same as mine? (Intensive Intermediate Algebra?)
lite_lover   [Oct 26, 2016 at 09:29 AM]
Nice Save!
streetlight98   [Oct 26, 2016 at 10:44 AM]
Never heard of intensive intermediate algebra so IDK what the numbering is here. (I don't even know what the heck it is lol; algebra is algebra, no? lol)

Good luck, GEsoftwhite100watts. I'm hoping to take again on Ordinary Differential Equation (I failed from last Spring Semester). But, ah, I'm not worried about the GPA. But, what matters me the most is what I try to understand the process of solving these equation. If I don't understand the content of the class material, I just take another of the same class again Smile
GEsoftwhite100watts   [Oct 26, 2016 at 05:55 PM]
That's my theory. Never mind my GPA (Well, of course I want it to be high) but worst comes to worst if I fail epically and don't get financial aid I'll just stay home and do one or two classes each semester.
streetlight98   [Oct 27, 2016 at 03:06 AM]
I don't even know how to find out my GPA... Neutral Laughing

Nice find, and a interesting one too. Deff looks older as well.
Do you have a pic of the top side?
GEsoftwhite100watts   [Oct 27, 2016 at 05:09 AM]
Not much exciting on the top side, if that's what you're wondering. Starters are on the side.
joe_347V   [Oct 31, 2016 at 01:48 AM]
Nice! Yeah it does look like an older one especially if it came with a old style Sylvania starter.

Speaking of math courses, I had to take a few of them too. Had to do Calculus I-III (differentials, integrals, differential eqs), Linear Algebra, and Statistics. What program are you in Andy? if you don't mind me asking.
GEsoftwhite100watts   [Oct 31, 2016 at 02:08 AM]
Hey Joe, I'm still undeclared but will probably go electrical engineer, electrician, or an English major. All of which still require more math than I currently have. I need to photograph the starters. Came with a Sylvania/GTE Design 50 for the 4' lamp, but the fixture could be older than that!
xmaslightguy   [Oct 31, 2016 at 03:37 AM]
I seriously doubt that dim D-50 crap is original... this most likely came with an 'Aquarium' or Gro-Lux standard lamps (not that a standard/narrow-spectrum gro-lux can in any way be considered bright either, they're mainly used because they bring out the colors of fish Smile ).
Only reason I wanted to see the boring other side is to compare it to other aquarium lights. LOL
GEsoftwhite100watts   [Oct 31, 2016 at 03:40 AM]
Probably not. I thought it was an old sign of some sort at first, which would have explained the dim D-50 crap.

But hey, at least it's a GTE, right? Laughing
xmaslightguy   [Oct 31, 2016 at 03:44 AM]
Yep!, and that makes it worth keeping, since you don't see many of those around anymore Smile
