1980s Westinghouse Ceramalux lamps « on: April 24, 2019, 09:20:02 PM » Author: M250R201SA
I ordered 2 C100S54 Westinghouse Ceramalux lamps from the 1980s on eBay.  I was wondering if these were as good as their Mercury Vapor counterparts. (I.E. Do they last forever and a year before cycling?)  I love how they look like the 100w clear Westy mercs.  But the ceramic arc tube looks huge compared to modern day chinese crap.

Can't resist buying more even if you already have an example in your collection?
Bank account/CC statement shows unnecessary spending?

Oh I love my Lifeguard 175w Mercury lamps.  I’ll probably be dead before these burn out.
