Wanted: good quality 250w mercury lamps « on: April 19, 2024, 04:31:32 PM » Author: HIDLad001
Something like a Lifeguard or an EYE. Preferably coated but clear is also good. I also don’t really want to spend a ridiculous amount of money on it.

HID Fixtures should stay HID, but I think LED is fine too.
Any new photos are taken with a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ35!
Local power is 120/240VAC 60Hz, TV is NTSC 480i 59.94, DTV is ATSC 1.0 and simulcast ATSC 3.0.

Those Lifeguards are pretty pricey, but that third Sylvan seems like a good deal.

That Sylvania is a good lamp for the time being, Lifeguards regrettably are more expensive than they used to be… but good deals to show up. It requires patience.

The last listing has been up since at least 2016 with the last purchase looking to be 2018 so you should try to make an offer of $7 and see what happens !
