Title: NOS Norelco 175w MV bulbs
Post by: bucket175mv on July 29, 2015, 08:27:50 AM: Hi there and look what I found for sale in my local classified ads!

Two NOS in the box, never used Norelco 175w MV dx coated BT-28 lamps. Seller lives on a farm and had them since the mid 80's as spares but he claims the original fixture and bulb are still going strong. Thats good ol MV for ya :) I tried to spot the bucket light on his property but couldn't see it. I picked these up for $10 canadian. Original price sticker indicates $15.99 and seller claims he got these in the states. Tag says, Stambaugh's.

Post by: bucket175mv on July 29, 2015, 06:55:52 PM: Yeah when I first viewed the ad I thought the same thing myself. I dont really have a use for them but as they are to bright for my size of yard but I still wanted them for their rarity.

I posted this in the wrong spot!! Woops...

I figured these lamp pics would gather more attention as MV lamps and fixtures seem to be quite popular on here and we all love vintage lighting stuff. I will post in the right section next time.

Post by: bucket175mv on June 05, 2016, 12:41:48 PM: I'd be willing to trade one for a 50w mercury lamp. I just purchased a nice NOS Westinghouse Lifeguard 50 watt mercury lamp of Ebay and I'm pretty sure its a dud :(
