Does anybody know if Sylvania made the Clearbanders in colors such as /C or /N ? All I've ever seen is /DX . Also, I know some members here also have them in HPS, but were they also made in metal halide ? Any thoughts ?

I don't think they ever made them in /C or /W. The clearband and fully coated technique was mostly applied to "new technology" coatings, like /DX and /N. The outgoing /C and /W lamps stuck with cleartops until the end.

Where's the love Tim? HPS clearbanders are cool.

First known case of Westinghouse Lifeguard Disease! If you can say yes to any of the following, you may have it too: Can't resist buying more even if you already have an example in your collection? Bank account/CC statement shows unnecessary spending?

ALL clearbanders are cool ! I'm just curious if they were made other flavors than "just" /DX MV and /D HPS info on these lamps seems to be few and far between. @ icefoglights : Thanks for the info, every little bit helps !

Interestingly, I think Sylvania Canada never switched to making clearbander MV lamps. The 175w /DX and 400w /DX I have that were made in early 80s and well into the clearbander era were still cleartop lamps.

I've seen several photos of Canadian Sylvanias here on LG and now that you mention it I think they ARE all cleartoppers

Nope. Only DX mercs and coated HPS lamps were clearbanded. C and W and coated MH lamps were cleartopped until the early 1980s or so. The N was fully coated in the late 1970s.
