175 watt mercury vapor lamp « on: August 11, 2015, 01:54:46 PM » Author: DieselNut
I just got a nice 175 watt NEMA yard light with the arm from a neighbor friend who got it from a friend of his that works for the power company.  It had a bad photo cell so I got a "shorting" cap to go on it, since I am going to run it off a switch when I need it.  It had no lamp, so I got a cheap Sylvania (china) lamp.  I would like to get a good MV lamp for it.  I have heard yall mention some of your favorite vintage ones, but would appreciate any recommendations.
He also got a 100 watt HPS NEMA light and arm that I fixed up for him with a new photocell and lamp in exchange for the MV one.
Any links to a couple good USA made 175 watt MV lamps would be appreciated.  Thanks!
