The first and the last

This picture shows two extremes in the low-pressure sodium lamp technology: the first commercial low-pressure sodium lamp on the left, i.e., the 1932 Philips Philora DC (running on James' luminaire from about the same period), and the last development on the right, i.e., the 1987 Philips ELS electrodeless SOX.

Fantastic duo. Very impressive to see these two together.

That's quite a rare occurrence indeed, one that was made possible by James who owns the Philora DC luminaire on the left.
