I purchased a 327 from this seller. Made the two hour drive down to pick it up.

Seller had three AEL 327 1K HPS NOS for sale as well.

Ok, it's not today necessarily but I took a look at the lights at my uncle's house last Saturday. Replaced an EOL lamp, removed another and unplugged the light (magnetic RS ballast - he doesn't have the time and it's still plenty bright in there without it, told him to plug it back in if he gets another lamp), and scheduled the lights in his elevator for repair.

How come nobody else is posting on this thread..? We don't want to get accused of hogging it, come on people, what have you been doing..?

Today we made up a display board for our newly acquired 10W SOX lamp, boy did it cause us problems, but hopefully it's ok now, why is it things always take at least 3 times as long as you expect them to..? Roll Eyes

Pictures to follow

IIRC one article i read said that some of the replacements will be made by a company named 'America's Green Line', partially due to this company being based in Detroit. Though that was back when the whole issue was starting to be reported on, so things could have changed since then.

True...Most of the reports were dated May 2019.

That’s interesting, the LED filament lamps they have in the US, (with the filaments mounted on the rings at the top and bottom), that Philips put their name on don’t seem to be very reliable?, I’ve seen a few put on here that have failed!
We also have that type here, but I prefer sylvania’s, (without the rings), but I never had any problems with Philips,s SMT diode ones and have a few in use at home.
As for Osram, I only actually have one of these, and whilst it’s a good construction, I haven’t used it yet.

I will not use filament because incandescents work well on dimmer switch.I've never seen Sylvania LEDs on Serbian market,but GE and Tungsram LEDs are on sale.

Hello,
Were do you plan to use them/ What the are you looking for? I guess it will be for home application/ normal application for exchanging normal tungsten lamps, then I would recommend Philips. I have made good experience with those, especially with the LED Filaments compared to LEDVANCE. On The other side, special lamps for example HID Retrfits or GX53 I would prefer LEDVANCE as the are better designed and last longer then the philip.

Kind Regards,
Alex

Thanks for reply.I will use them in standard house environment.I've seen Osram(not LEDVANCE)LEDs on market.Philips bulbs are quite nice.I have one and works nice.I replaced tungsten lamps with CFLs and CFLs with LEDs.Problem is that current LED bulbs which I use are V TAC tend to die fast.V TAC bulbs with SAMSUNG diodes last quite long and give constant CRI and light output.
