Son-T 250W Twin Arc tube lamp question

Postby PeterG » Sat Jan 09, 2021 4:57 pm

Son-T 250W Ext Twin Arc tubes in one SON-T lamp - are these designed to be used on standard 250w SON gear or do they need special gear to run them?

Cheers

Just used on normal gear. Basically one or other tube will fire each time you light it. Designed to give a longer lamp life.

Also in the even of power blip the other arc-tube will fire up rather than waiting for a hot-restrike.
Twin-Arc lamps seemed popular in street lighting in the highlands and islands of Scotland

I do like how they have managed to stick 2 arc tubes in one lamp but one thing i've always wondered and yet to see is what happens if one arc tube leaks how much light would it then give out when the outer jacket is black? :?
