Philips 160w SBMV
Here's a coated Philips SBMV lamp. The internals of this is a lot simpler than my 120v SBMV as the higher voltage means the lamp can start reliably without preheating the arctube. This means there's no preheat filament and bimetal switch in these. All that's inside is a arctube in series with ballast filament.

You can light this up with a dryer or cooking range cord connected to a standard E26 socket! Although the voltage is gonna be a little high (most non-120V SBMVs are rated 220-230V).

Yeah, I'll have to put the old step up to run this once I'm back in 120 land.
