| I'll admit it, I grabbed the last one. It'll be nice lamp to try out in my new 100W GE 201-SA, and I don't have this phosphor in any wattage yet. Previously I'd lit a few 100W lamps briefly on 175W ballasts (without letting them fully warm up), but I wouldn't want to risk it with a vintage lamp. Thanks for pointing out the listing, @joseph_125.

| Ahh, glad to see a few of us here got one. I did a double take when I spotted this listing in my recommendations on eBay today.
Yeah I wouldn't risk using a 175w ballast on a vintage lamp. Either a real H38 or even a M98 with ignitor removed I'd be more comfortable it with.
This would probably look beautiful in that SA-201 NEMA too.

| Same here, I'm glad they all went to collectors. I don't plan to run this much anyway so I only bought one. Plus it's a BT25 Lifeguard which I surprisingly don't have yet. Looks like mine should be here by the end of next week. Mid-week if I'm lucky.

| How rare are these /W lamps exactly, and what are the chances of more popping up?

ON LG FOR 2 YEARS! Please don't ask to meet up with me, as I am still living with my mother. Don't send me items either please, thank you!
Please, watch out for the future. It's not looking good. Loves instruction manuals of any kind!

| From time to time a listing with a single /W lamp will show up on eBay. A listing with a bunch of them like this time is a bit rarer.

| Hopefully! Although I suppose if it was a /DX I'll still keep it.

| I'd still be pissed as I specifically asked the seller if they were /W instead of /DX lamps . I don't know if I'da spent that much on a /DX .

| I would be too TBH but it's a bit of PITA to return stuff cross border so I usually don't bother with it.
