135w T10 VHO Lamps as Overhead Lighting « on: March 25, 2021, 03:07:52 AM » Author: suzukir122
I'll try my best to clarify real quick.. I've never seen 135w VHO lamps being used outside of freezers. Has anyone ever seen or used 135w VHO lamps in regular strip fixtures or turrets? With their intended VHO ballasts? Those 135w T10's are some of my favorite lamps of all time like, for real. So I want to know if anyone has seen or used them in turrets or maybe even larger strip fixtures of some kind.

Quote from: joseph_125 on March 26, 2021, 11:23:18 PM I believe they're F60 lamps so they would be around 5ft long. 5ft is rather uncommon for turret luminaires. I think they were usually made in 4ft and 8ft, with maybe 6ft as an option. Thank you, but there was the F100T17/F90T17 turret lights F60, F84, F108, and F120 lamps seem rather uncommon, wonder how good ti woudl be to shop an 8ft light intoa 7ft oen for F84 lamps.

@Joseph_125, dang. All these years I've thought those 135w T10's were 6 footers. I didn't know they were 5 footers. That explains why I don't typically see them in use outside of freezers and store refrigerators.  Five footer fixtures are tough to find as it is. Which means... if anyone wants them to be used in overhead fixtures, they'd have to modify fixtures in order to do so. Sigh... dang it.

Quote I saw some F120T12/HO lamps at the Restore once. Oddly they were made from a 7ft section spliced into a 3ft section. I also saw some of those at a ReStore years ago, and same thing on the design. Had no way to get such a long beast home, or I mighta got a couple. Quote Has anyone ever seen or used 135w VHO lamps in regular strip fixtures or turrets Never seen one period.

Man... well looks as if I'm gonna have to, someday, create a fixture with these, with a VHO ballast that supports them. By "fixture," I mean like a light table or something
