What kind of bulb? « on: March 12, 2009, 09:36:23 PM » Author: itfitz
Hi folks, first post here, I have an old westinghouse street lamp and the bulb is busted and the metal lable on the inside is really about shot. I can get a little info off of it but not the bulb type, It is a RMA-10 LC model ... VA 400.....volts 120....cycles 60....and that is about all I can read on it. Could someone please help with what kind of bulb and the wattage...
thank you in advance, itfitz

sounds like a 400 watt Mercury Vapor fixture...a rare one also I believe! Nice find

is it worth fixing or should i just trash it? it was just an extra laying around an old barn.

Why don't you show a pic of it....someone may.be willing to take it or even buy it and actually fix it as a hobby....some of us love to do that!

We don't really like seeing old things...and rare things being thrown away....

RMA sounds like it might be a barn style NEMA. Not sure the wattage though. The ones I have are 230VA. Like Jace said a pic would be great if you can! Anyways is it just the lamp busted? If so the I would definitely just put a new lamp in it!
