I Now Own These !! « on: November 12, 2022, 11:01:26 PM » Author: wide-lite 1000
https://www.ebay.com/itm/373475305433  For those who remember these , I bought them  and not for the asking price !! I messaged the seller after the listing was dead for a week or so and told them their asking price was WAY too high and made an offer of which they accepted !! I went and picked them up today . I got as follows : approx. 12- GE 1000w PS-52 incandescents of which about 1/2 are either high hour or EOL ,  1 Daycoa 750w R-52? SBMV , 3-EYE 750w BT-46 Deluxe white SBMV , 3- Daycoa 750w BT-46 Deluxe white SBMV , and last but NOT least , 3 Daycoa 750w BT-46 CLEAR SBMVs !!

Yep ! Have you ever heard of Daycoa ? The etch looks a lot like a Dura test etch . So far , one of the Daycoa coated lamps seems to be a dud as it looks to have had a air leak which smoked the filament ballast on run up !    Hopefully all of the clears are good !!

Nope, never heard of them. It's possible that these are indeed Duro-test lamps branded for another company, or this could be a Duro-test brand... Hope the rest are good!

I'm currently testing them as we speak ! The coated Daycoa's seem to have a color similar to a /C lamp  while the EYE version seems to be more of a warm color like a WDX .

UPDATE !!  All of the SBMV's have been tested . Out of 11 750w SBMV lamps , 1 was confetti when I got them ( DAYCOA 750w R-52 ? ) I still have one of these intact !  All 3 of the EYE coated lamps work fine . 2 of the 3 DAYCOA coated lamps work fine , (one suffered an air leak and went up in smoke !)  2 out of 3 of the DAYCOA CLEAR lamps work fine . The 3rd looks absolutely perfect but does NOTHING !! Both filaments look fine , bimetallic sw. looks fine , all connections look fine but nothing happens !! Lamp also shows NO continuity unlike the remaining working examples !! DAMN IT !!
