The lamp outside my house has failed again, and recently I am only getting about 18 months / 5000h life from the modern Philips production.  So before buying another new one of questionable quality, maybe someone here has some older stock for sale or trade?  Please nothing very old or valuable, even though they may be better quality I would feel too bad to burn a real vintage lamp to end of life!

Pm me if you haven't found one yet...

Its a sad end to an iconic technology when Hamilton can`t be bothered to put much quality into Philips`s own invention , won`t be long until another historic lamp factory closes it doors forever!
