Indonesian GE SP-35 « on: June 16, 2012, 01:04:28 AM » Author: Powell
It says WARM WHITE on the etch....NOT.  I compared it to a SP-35 made in Hungary. It's slightly pinker, and since it is new, brighter, but the Hungarian SP-35 hasn't many hours on it. The Hungarian lamp looks well made, the Indonesian one looks cheap and crummy and the glass at the ends is poorly formed.  It won't make 7500 hours.

I had surprises with unknown name China lamps (mostly F40T12s, that looked quite nasty), so i would not claim that it won't last well

As for pink, i sometimes seen /640 (halophosphate) lamps which would appear somewhat pinkish, dont know what causes it - perhaps variations in amount of phosphor --> content of light (how much from the phosphor vs directly from the discharge)

When I began to volunteer in the storage of Carmel hospital, they had numerous Sylvania F40W cool white halophosphors T12 lamps. Their light was brownish compared to the daylight halophospors T12 and T8 that they have.

I will say the Indonesian SP-35 lamps won't last as well for one reason. None of the other GE F15T8 lamps made in Indonesia do. They do, however sorta kinda come close to 5000 hours at best.
