GEC 400W NE/H Hot Cathode Neon Tube

Many thanks to a fellow collector for this tube, which was designed as a coloured floodlight. It is shown lit on the rather impressive [url=https://trad-lighting.net/gallery/displayimage.php?pid=140][b]control box[/b][/url] built by Photonicinduction, the sock in the bottom left picture is modelled by Sammi especially for our friend Tim..! Unfortunately the etch on the cap is too faint to get a decent picture, but the date code can be made out, and it is GG (July 1975).

As already said earlier, it's a fantastic piece of lighting history!

It would be good to find the others in the range; I believe there were similar lamps that used mercury and phosphor coatings to give green and blue lamps, but I've never seen any of these Wonder

You're asking a lot here... I'm afraid the other colors are really unobtanium.
