Never seen a fluorescent lamp longer than 1500 mm. Tese 1800 mm tubes were probably limited to the UK and not used in most European countries.

Hope you had a great Christmas

I remember the 5ft versions of the grey end cromptons from porta cabin we had at the old high school back in the 80's... other thing I remember is how cold that cabin was in winter as the heaters were broken

Most standard tubes are 3500k, crompton/philips/thorn/sylvania/ring/osram/mazda

Thank you so much for this

What do you think, this lamp or the Osram 125 watt mercury vapor lamp? What are the pros and cons of both lamps?

Lovely lamp i have a screwdriver set like that too by stanley

Where can I purchase those red lights

I think for running that 55W PL-L lamp, a 58W T8 choke ballast might be a better option for running the lamp properly since it would be underpowered on a 36W T8 choke ballast, but an electronic ballast would be the best ballast to use for the 55W PL-L lamp since it was originally designed for use with electronic ballasts.

Hello Adam and Sparky-ww5re Please can you help me with what kind and spec of a ballast I need for these 125W E27 bulbs please? Very grateful for your time and advice.

What a waste of time

I am amazed that the 40W PL-L lamp seems to run decently well on your 36/40W preheat ballast. I have often heard that these lamps have trouble running on 36/40W preheat ballasts.

I really like 4 pin non-integrated CFL lamps like these 36W PL-L lamps because I get to use external starters with them. Sadly, here in North America, we rarely use external starters with 4 pin CFL lamps since they are usually used either with electronic ballasts or magnetic rapid start ballasts, but using an external starter with them is still doable. I have a couple of videos where I have been operating some PL-L CFL lamps and other 4 pin non-integrated CFL lamps on preheat ballasts using external starters before.

Me too

Nice

Nice video, but you shouldn't run SOX lamps vertically, with the electrodes at the bottom, best the other way up or horizontal. The sodium can accumulate after cool down and then eats into them during next start up process.

Capacitor charge will be why it didn't blink when you turned it off and on again, leave it about 30 seconds off and it might blink again.

With that set up you just made a traffic light

I'd love an old T12, can't seem to find any fixtures...able to find bulbs just no fittings

Yep, that's right!

That is a neat setup! Thanks for sharing.

I WAS THEREEEE

Awesome light fixture! Definitely a blink-happy PL fluorescent bulb.

Very nice eight-foot fluorescent light! The glow of this light is beautiful. Thanks for sharing!

It's not A0.52. That symbol is a lambda. The following figure is the power factor (0.52 is pretty fecking awful by the way. The capacitor goes some way to improve it but it still won't be amazing).

Anyone that gets excited about a fluorescent light fitting really needs to get out more. Outdated, inefficient technology. The starter button is actually a starter switch. Don't call us, we'll call you.

I have two of these in my loft! Monster lamps, have two new spare tubes also! nice find

Stick CFL are pretty rare here in Asia. We mostly got the U-shape tube and the spiral

Could you add a link to the clear bulb? Thanks

Really helpful, Thank you kindly 🙏

I wonder whether it was always had that L11 in the engine!

Very nice! Here in the USA, I have not seen a fixture that takes that type of 4 pins (other than a battery operated lantern) and I do not see these for sale anywhere near me. I believe PL stands for Plug Light, but I am not sure about the extra L. I know the S probably stands for single.

Lâmpada general electrc pl 18 Watts 💡

I have the 400 watt version. BT37, E40 base but works fine in an E39 socket with pulse start metal halide ballast with ignitor disconnected. Puts off an insane amount of UV and gets incredibly hot. Basically any mercury vapor lamp can be made as a blacklight by using a woods glass envelope instead of a clear or phosphor coated glass, although they are only made in a few wattages, 125, 250 and 400 are the only sizes I could find online dispite extensive research. Were commonly used in nightclubs and similar large venues and bowling alleys before LED blacklights were available, and gradually replaced the mercury vapor since they add many advanced capabilities such as dimming, stroking, DMX control, and more. Still, the nature of mercury vapor makes for an efficient blacklight source.

Can you use these bulbs in regular house light fixture

wouldn't a 11 or 13 watt pl lamp be equal to a 60 watt incandescent and 9 watt equals a 40 watt? also interesting eol tube in the backround

Nice video and beautiful lamp! Moreover, if i'm not mistaken, the RA of this lamp is 82, so the color fidelity is also good. I personally love 2700 K or less and prefer only 2000, which my High Pressure Sodium lamps have. This light causes little light pollution and is very pleasant to the eyes.🙂

6:06 8:20 that is called rapid start

I have a fan heater but my heater is Anko in Target

less cola more osram!

anyway..
