Where can you get 125w mercs in the US? « on: July 11, 2016, 07:53:43 PM » Author: Lumex120
I would like a few for a dual lamp fixture I plan on building soon. I checked all the distributors like elightbulbs and none of them had them. I also want a true 125w lamp and not those Utilitech lamps from Lowes. Does anyone know of a good place to get them new?

Check uk eBay. Occasionally they come up. Do you have proper ballasts?

Nope, but I would use 100w PSMH ballasts without ignitors.

Ok, I found where you can get them:

https://www.lightbulbdepot.com/products/details/?item=00785A&watts[]=0+~%7C~+No+Max&volts[]=0+~%7C~+No+Max&subId[]=269&sortBy=default&pageNum=2&itemsPerPage=10&offset=16&returnPage=products%2F

they are somewhat expensive though.

It's a Canadian site, though. Not sure if they ship to the US or how expensive shipping would be if they do.

I bought two 125w mercs on eBay, quality Japanese EYE stuff on eBay, so I'd say it's the way to go.

The merc from light bulb depot is not a bad price.
I have shop there before, it best shop there in person
Than dealing online.  But 30 buck for 125 watt merc is not a bad price really.  Even u got it on UK Ebay
It will cost just as much.  Also some of Regent bucket
Lights use 125 watt mercs. Wich i own in my collection
125 watt and 80 watt mercs do come up now and then

Really? There's even a Light Bulbs Unlimited somewhere here, it seems like they exist solely in Florida.
