Expensive Westinghouse Lifeguard H44JM-100 PAR38 mercury lamp « on: June 25, 2020, 09:26:43 PM » Author: HPS_250
Much too expensive in my opinion. I’ve never seen a PAR Westinghouse Lifeguard before, so I’m not sure if this is rare or not. https://www.ebay.com/itm/402254427602 (Admin edit - Listing not available as of 10/20/2020)

I’ve always been interested in all kinds of lighting, mainly incandescent and HID, and especially all kinds of sodium lamps (HPS/LPS). I’ll tolerate LED but I’m not a fan of it.
I’m not proud to say that my city has Devolved to LED.

I found them while visiting my aunts work and saw the who sitting on a fold out table with the word FREE taped on the edge so i decided to grab them. Only after some research i found what the where and that's kinda the main reason i joined lg so could get some info from collectors.

Quote from: WestinghouseCeramalux on June 28, 2020, 09:07:07 PM All Ken-Rad lamps were made by Westinghouse from the mid 40's to the early 80's. This lamp is way overpriced. It's a UV PAR intended for use in black-light applications. I agree that it’s overpriced. Why would a UV PAR even be so expensive in the first place?

Finding the bulbs is hard, but be prepared to pay with your house or car when buying a socket even if you have the luck to find one! I think i may just resort to making my own sockets. Most people just tape on or solder wire to the base and i will tape them on as soldering them may ruin the lamp.

I am the author of this thread, so I’m asking if anyone would like it to stay? If not I will delete it as recommended.
