When these were first powered on, it took about 45-60 seconds from strike to reach full brightness. I was impressed. I'm sure it is a Venture proprietary deal, as the lamp came pre-installed in the luminaire. I was just an evil little jerk and stole this some 16 years ago. I have no idea what they replaced it with; if they had to special order another lamp. What I wonder is what they relamp the fixture with now. I will say that the fixture was way too light and small to contain a magnetic ballast.
You stole it?
Shooting them with bb guns, sometimes, they shot through the lamp, sometimes they missed. In my neighborhood, just walking down the street, you would see bb and bullet holes in the acrylic lenses.
Yeah, I was probably 13-14 years old and a pretty bad kid. I taught myself the error of my ways though. I wasn't half as bad as the other neighborhood kids who would destroy the neighborhood streetlights though. But I still don't justify today what I did as a teenager.
How did they destroy them?
