250w Black light

This is the slightly rarer to find 250W EYE Black Light H250BL. This lamp has a good output for its size. I also have the more common 400W EYE lamp but it looks very similar just bigger.

Not got anything above 125W in blacklight form.

The 400W EYE BL is still available, although getting a bit expensive. It's a monster can heat a room and tan at the same time Laughing

I can confirm that, the H400BL is quite a beast. Is your H250BL a post-2009 lamp with a lead-free Wood's glass bulb?

It does look like my H250BL is the later. The date code may be 2017, however it makes no reference to use of lead. Originally I thought I had ordered one with the usual shaped outer envelope, I think it might have been Sylvania, but this Iwasaki one arrived in the post.

The presence or not of lead in the glass bulb was, in most cases, not publicly advertised... it simply didn't help with sales. You could find the "lead-free" mention only in some lamp brochures during the 2000s when some manufacturers removed the lead solder from their lamps. The removal of lead was an RoHS directive requirement and caused quite some headaches in the production of quality Wood's glass bulbs for blacklight lamps.
