I will have to look in my collection. I believe that the old original Westinghouse made some odd lamps for GTE Sylvania in the mid to late 1970's. Lamps that were not practical for Sylvania to make anymore like odd colored F40's and the like. I think I have a 6 pack of Sylvania F40/PK that are black ended that I bought new around 1979, I will look  |

Powerbracket, does the etch on your Sylvania 40w Pinks look like this: http://www.lighting-gallery.net/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-56961Or does it look like this: http://www.lighting-gallery.net/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-42524Never seen a Sylvania fluorescent lamp from the late 70s/early 80s made by Westinghouse, I have a few Sylvania F40PKs from the early 80s and they were made by Sylvania themselves. |

| I'll try to get pictures of my almost EOL Westinghouse F30T8D. I a have a 30 watt rapid start that of course, supposedly won't start a T8 preheat lamp, but the Westinghouse will and a GE Cool White Standard will NOW after about 3000 hours on a dual lamp rapid start fixture. I had a T12 in the lead side.
