Are GE 50W Rough Service bulbs rare? « on: April 19, 2020, 11:09:11 AM » Author: HPS_250
I was just wondering, because I’ve heard that some kinds of 50W incandescent bulbs are rare.

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.

50W was never an incandescent rating over here. 15/25/40/60/100/150W were the most common, with the occasional 75W, but never 50.

50W was never really a common incandescent rating here either.

Does anyone in the US know if these are rare?

I think I've only seen rough service 50w lamps. I wonder if the extra power is to compensate for the fact the rough service lamps tend to be less efficient than conventional incandescent lamps.

75w lamps were also rare here in Canada for some reason too.
