Ive found a few 8 foot T-12 tubes, NEW. 85W and 120W « on: August 30, 2025, 09:35:37 PM » Author: Timlx1
Here is an interesting project...

I knew about these for a couple of years at the back of a warehouse and have finally secured them, I have some 85w T12 warm white fluro's and a couple of 125W T12 internal reflector tubes.
Now where to start? both types are Crompton and made in the UK, they have normal t12 style pins at the ends.
 I've been researching these  but as of date there is not a lot of info,  Lighting gallery has turned up a few clues. Ill make a couple of single tube fixtures using aluminium C channel to keep them safe. Has anybody had a go at these? I could get creative paralleling smaller ballasts but I would like to not cook these lamps, there will be no more.
