I was screwing around tonight and I decided to see if I could get the dead Champion lamp to start again on preheat. It didn’t start at first, but when the reset starter tripped out it lit, much to my surprise. Unfortunately, this only lasted for a moment, and I was just able to grab one photo of it. The arc was swirling around at the end with the broken filament. It was also quite dim, much dimmer even than the GE 2900lm 3500k lamp next to it, as evidenced by the photo. The Champion lamp is on the bottom.

Sorry about the GE obscuring the Champion lamp. The Champion is quite dim, and the GE was already installed. I was only able to get this to work for a moment, and the phone camera was dominated by the 3500k lamp. For whatever reason it emphasized the yellow pink tone of it. It’s not that bad in reality.
