EYE H175 This was a eBay find. I have the coated version (H175PD) in my collection so I figured I'd also grab the clear version. This is a newer one, from when EYE started to make these in China instead of Japan. Interestingly, I think only the more common wattages got transferred, the less common wattages remained Japanese made until the end of production. Note the more rounded BT-28 envelope compared to the classic North American BT-28 envelope. Keywords: Lamps

April 2017 is the correct date, so this is indeed a rather late lamp for a clear merc.

Thanks! I think this might be my newest clear mercury lamp. I also have a EYE 50w clear with a 2016 date code.
