Wanted: SOX lamps I won’t feel guilty about using « on: July 14, 2023, 11:16:30 AM » Author: HIDLad001
I want to convert a wallpack to SOX, but I got into this hobby late, and I am priced out as far as SOX lamps go. If I was going to spend a ridiculous amount of money on SOX lamps, I would keep them for my collection and not want to use them, even though they aren’t rare per se. I can buy weird mercury vapor lamps that haven’t been made since the 1970s for less than the price of a common SOX lamp. Does anybody have any cheap or used SOX lamps they could sell to me?

HID Fixtures should stay HID, but I think LED is fine too.

They're sold on Alibaba for a relatively cheap price.

Since Alibaba is a wholesale site that is usually for buying cheap items in large quantities, would I go about getting just one or two lamps by "ordering a sample"?

I have no experience buying from Alibaba so I can’t say much. There is a member selling used Philips SOX-E 26W lamps on eBay for $60 each with free shipping. That is currently the lowest priced option on the site, especially if your looking for a genuine Philips.

When I am a bit older and have a job, I might order a sizeable amount of those Chinese SOX lamps and sell them on eBay for reasonable prices (under $30) to try to get the prices for SOX lamps back to normal again.
