I need YOUR help « on: November 19, 2020, 07:30:00 PM » Author: Bulbman256
Hello kind people, i was recently burned by the hand of eBay and got shipped Phillips 100w mv flood lamps instead of the /n ones i ordered. My mom wants me to find a datasheet or other manufacture paper explain the difference between the two so i can use that as evidence to try to get a refund or the right lamps. Any help would be appreciated!

I can try to help find a data sheet for you. I was about to buy some of those /N lamps, so I’m glad I saw that it was a scam!

I’ve always been interested in all kinds of lighting, mainly incandescent and HID, and especially all kinds of sodium lamps (HPS/LPS). I’ll tolerate LED but I’m not a fan of it.
I’m not proud to say that my city has Devolved to LED.

But thank you for looking.

I don't know about a spec sheet.  There is a style tone ad on eBay. I agree it probably wasn't a scam.  The case in question was for 12 lamps yet the seller has already sold 14 and has 10+ more.  They almost certainly have multiple cases.  Some were likely /N while others were /DX.

I think the ad that Patrick sent should be sufficient evidence that there is a difference between DX and N lamps.

I cannot find a data sheet for these specific lamps in /N. I understand now that it probably was not a scam, because I didn’t realize that the seller sold 14 lamps already. So, if for example they had 24 lamps available in the beginning, they could have simply had a case of /N and a case of /DX and they got mixed.

Just notify the seller of the mistake and see if he has anymore /Ns.
