SOX/ low pressure sodium lamp In a microwave « on: August 28, 2024, 10:20:14 AM » Author: Streetlightsandlamps
Here is a video of someone putting a SOX lamp in a microwave: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1QpfyO0zx0 It is a fun video to watch, but these SOX lamps are getting rare, it looks like a osram or GE bulb. It is a waste of a rare bulb.

I don't know why the outer bulb broke, but the tube still intact? And if he has done this with a good lamp, this isn't good.

He shouldn’t be doing that to SOX lamps. He could’ve given that one to a collector, instead of microwaving it. It is such a waste and those lamps look like very rare ones.

Yeah, they weren’t as hard to find in 2016.

It's an interesting video nonetheless, think of how many of these lamps were made, and think of all of the ones which have been recycled whilst still in their useful life. Not such a massive deal, especially since it made this interesting video. Just wish that he used a cheaper modern sox lamp.

Sadly not this one 😩, Duke Mill stopped production in 2000 and the factory closed in 2007, so yes, this guy shouldn’t have really done this 🤨

Back when I lived in Georgia , I knew a guy who collected old barbed wire . He had dozens of different samples of different types/styles with some being well over 150 years old ! It all looked like rusty crap to me...  The point us lighting people often miss is the fact that the aformentioned lamp is no more special to non lighting people than an empty chip bag.   .
