But to David, YES i would like one of the SLI lamps... THANKS
Yep, I spotted that and added another to the order. By my reckoning there's just two left for sale now. Will they be hurriedly snapped up, or will the last two make it unsold into another decade?
My contact's now claiming he has a spare GR150 bowl, so a trip to Stelmer's with this spare bowl for him, and his and your SLI lamps, and via A.C. Ford's to pick up a few more brackets is definitely on the cards for sometime soon!
Oh heck, that will ruin my avatar and force a bulk-replacement of Clacton's GEC Z5640s and Z5670s (a few hundred of the mercury-running variants are still going, with some approaching 60 years old!). With any luck, they'll invent a SON retrofit for the 80w mercury bulb (as far as I know, they only do them from 125w to 400w at the moment).You never know, they may get converted to CFL!!
Yes I'd much prefer that. Funnily enough there was once a SON retrofit for 80w mercury - rated at 69w and made by Sylvania, but I can't find any on sale now.
