HPS lamp prototype from 1960s « on: November 20, 2020, 01:00:51 PM » Author: RadxD461
this HPS lamp was invented in 1964 by General Electric and is one of the first few prototypes saved from the GE Research Lab. It may be the only surviving prototype of its kind.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3vAjb_Du6Q

Nice video and lamp-don't blame you for not trying to run the lamp.Since the wattage isn't marked-can't determine what ballast to use anyway.

And if you thought Ria disliked LED, you could set Rick off on a page long rant for even breathing those 3 letters!  :lol:

Oh yeah, I've read some of those, he had some good points but it was hard going, he didn't seem to know what punctuation and paragraph breaks were  :mrg:

He got a little too political for me as well, but that's another subject best steered well clear of here.
