Clear European Glow bottle start HPS retrofit lamp « on: June 02, 2023, 12:35:48 PM » Author: HomeBrewLamps
I kind of want to acquire a Glow bottle ignited HPS retrofit lamp, these are not readily available in the United States for likely voltage related reasons. But I would really like to see one in action. Preferably the lamp would be new I'm not too fussed on the wattage since I imagine any of the wattages will be a challenge to get working on whatever ballast concoction I'll have to whip up  . I could buy or trade. Depending on what someone would want in trade.

Here is a clear Philips Retrolux 360w high pressure sodium retrofit lamp: https://www.ebay.com/itm/153134442667 These lamps do feature glowbottle starters, but they are intended for the North American market.

While that is a cool lamp. I'm not really sure if that's a reasonable price for it? I've noticed Idoovad over priced alot of things.

If you can say yes to any of the following, you may have it too:
Can't resist buying more even if you already have an example in your collection?
Bank account/CC statement shows unnecessary spending?
