Wanted: 90 or 180W SOX Lamp « on: May 07, 2022, 01:46:20 PM » Author: Econolite03
Hi there, I’m looking for 90 or 180W SOX lamps. The reason being is this will determine what I get next for the collection, simply because I don’t want to invest in a LPS fixture in those wattages but then have no bulb(s) for it, making it useless. If I could find a 90W lamp then I’d get a 90W fixture for it, if that makes sense. Any web finds, trades, or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Would you also be interested in any 66w, 91w, and 131w SOX-E lamps too?

*edit* If they could run on a 90 or 180W ballast, I’d consider it.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/294923088617  This would be worth a message to seller as it isn't clear if you'd be getting 1 or 2 for that price !! The item description says "2 each" which leads me to believe they have 2 lots of 2 !!   Either way , the price is worth it for just one !!!!

The 66w SOX-E lamps are intended as an energy saver version for 90w SOX low pressure sodium lamps while 131w SOX-E low pressure sodium lamps are intended as an energy saver version for 180w SOX low pressure sodium lamps.

Indeed. Savings can be made with normal SOX ballasts, but they perform a lot more efficiently with the correct SOX-E ballasts. Sadly, those are hard to find these days, they were never all that common in the UK to start with, I believe mainland Europe made greater use of them.

I don’t mind the SOX-E lamps, if I found one for a fair price I’d probably get it. I don’t want to spoil it, but I plan on acquiring a 180W SOX fixture in the coming month.
