There are two kinds of light  -  the glow that illuminates, and the glare that obscures.

Today's offering is a Westinghouse 100W MV lamp with a blown tubular envelope. This picture is a split between first ignition and fully warmed up.

We received the replacement lamp for this one. So here it is at full brightness.  It will certainly help to keep the winter blues away, though we will need to get a diffuser.

Today's choice is one of the four 160W SBMV lamps that were delivered yesterday. We had to put together a lash-up with the correct socket, but here it is fully warmed up.

Here it is at full brightness.  The GE Lucalox lamps are probably one of the best designs of HPS lamp. Does anyone help out dating this lamp, please..? I'm not certain how the system works; there are two groups of 4 digits - 1506 and underneath 0515.

We're sticking with HPS, just an increase in wattage. Today it's a 70W Osram Vialox NAV-E (SON-E) lamp, pictured here at full brightness.

Today, we have a green MH lamp lit, sometimes colour rendering is a good thing as currently the green LED status lamps on our IP phone are showing as orange, which is the fault indication.!  Here it is at full brightness.

As interesting as your lamp collection is I don't believe it is necessary to post both in a forum and on the gallery. The gallery is a much more sought out and effective means of sharing Photography. It is what people see when they first enter the site. This thread is a bit redundant and is not drawing much response from any other members. The forum is mostly meant for Q&A.

Hi Owen, Thanks for the comment, thinking about it you have a point, I'll close the thread now.
