Sylvania 69/108W SPX Eco Arc HPS Retrofit Lamp Here is a Sylvania SPX Eco Arc high pressure sodium lamp which is designed as a retrofit lamp for either 80W or 125W mercury vapour fittings. It has a specially designed arc tube which operates at a higher voltage than standard HPS lamps and vapourises all the mercury and virtually all of the sodium when running. It has a glowbottle starter so it can operate directly on a mercury ballast without the need for an ignitor. Here it is running on the 125W setting of our dual wattage ballast. Keywords: Lamps

That's quite a blue run-up there, something you don't see very often with HPS lamps. I should run mine to see if it has the same behavior.

I'd like to get another of these lamps, but this rating seems to be rather hard to find Confused HPS bulb HD

Many HID lamps have become hard to find or prohibitively expensive. The technology is disappearing fast in Europe, so stock up while you can (some cheap NOS Philips 26 W SOX-E are on their way to me as we speak, I got very lucky with those).

I have a few of those that came at a good price LPS

Is that the lamp type you're using in your Gamma 6?
