Yesterday I got bored and decided to fire up some lamps.I fired up this oldie and noticed that it has nice color to it and it restrikes fast.Also I fired 960W 250W GE metal halide lamps and color is beautiful.Also SHLP ones are working very well.Please don't do this because it is dangerous.I will buy a proper socket.Last picture is HgLi 400W NOS in operation,awesome lamps with nice CRI and nice pink/red startup.
