What is your dream lamp? « on: January 25, 2022, 06:30:50 PM » Author: RadiantMV
What is a lamp that you dream of obtaining someday? It doesn’t matter if its semi-common or basically impossible to find.

For me, it would have to be the Duro-Test fluomeric 750 watt clear SBMV. This lamp is truly unique, being in the R-57 reflector shape yet having completely clear glass. It also has a unique filament placement and construction that is different from most other SBMVs.

That's easy, the MAT/V self-ballasted medium pressure mercury lamp. We've missed out on no less than three on eBay over the years, hopefully one day we'll be lucky and find one  :-\

Mine would be the gold-coated SLI lamp.

Any early metal halide lamp from the 1960s or 70s when they were first introduced is something that's been on my bucket list for a while.

Any of the uncommon MVs like /X or /Y or something like a 10w SOX.

I suppose T17 fluorescent too but they're not too rare, just expensive.

For me, a Polamp LRJD metal halide lamp would be something I desire because of its interesting color and also a Philips HPI plus bu 667 lamp too since I really love daylight metal halide lamps.

Not technically. A fixture would be something that contains a lamp. Also, there are two different categories for lamps and fixtures in the gallery.
