43 years old Philips SON-T 250W high pressure sodium lamp (Made in Brazil)

This was a rare find for me at the replaced lamps yard. I took it from a Luxten Mira street light that had been replaced with LED. According to the label, the lamp was produced in May 1981 and, altough it is 43 years old, I don't think it was working since then. It may had been in service for 11 years.

Do these stay deep orange when fully warmed up?

Not as deep as the LPS. The deep orange colour is only at the begining.
