Cheapo 55 watt Sox lamps « on: September 06, 2019, 09:20:13 AM » Author: HomeBrewLamps
Since 55 watt lamps are what I have the most of this will be the only wattage I collect.. I'd like to find as many as possible.. Bulk options are nice too..

Yup I purchased one of those, I'm hoping for sellers to post ones in bulk and/or at prices like 20 per bulb... The 39 dollar per bulb price is kind of eating at my funds.... I do understand that they're a once in a lifetime thing which is why I keep biting the bullet..

Yeah, it seems like the prices of all SOX lamps have gone up. Most of my lamps are 18w lamps and it seems like 18w is one of the wattages that are hard to find and pretty expensive. Gone are the days of getting cheap 2-5 dollar 18w SOX lamps from the Restore I guess.

I wish I was born a bit earlier.... I'd be loaded with so many Sox and mv lamps....

Yeah, SOX was also a bit more plentiful in Canada so I guess I was lucky to see them show up at a Restore. I still wish I could find more lamps and a higher wattage fixture too.

When I was a kid, there used to be this expressway in the city that was lit completely with 135/180w SOX lights and even then I noticed they were different than the plain old HPS lights that the rest of the city used.
