This is a video of my first HID lamp, a Sylvania 100w HPS , firing up. After being rescued from a fallen light pole and being dropped several times since being in my collection  I'm really happy that it still works. I love the color changes during the warm up process on older lamps.

for a short time the lamp was a mercury vapor green,and white color,cool video!

My first HID was a Philips HPS from a fallen post top pole also! It's a 1997 Philips lamp, it is pretty much a cycler actually.....it was in service for about 9 years....it worked when it was leaning.......

the picture of my first HPS lamp was the 3500th picture uploaded posted since LG first came up!
