Dor does camel hospital not have any fluorescent left now??? 🐪🐫
The Storages of Carmel hospital moved from Gaash 2x40W T12/2x36W T8 switch-start to Gaash Sealight Plus 2x28W T5.
And why you calling Carmel hospital "Camel hospital" @Kev???
I love see run-up and hot restrike of HID lamps, mainly on timed ignitors, and spectra of metal halide lamps.

"hn" used to come in 2 styles made of 2 different types of plastic :

The very white plastic, with a logo that looks like : HN (in a frame) - Those crumble from the lamp UV

The little off white plastic, with a logo that looks like : hn (on a square of red background) - Those have better plastic that stays ok

The latter were often the OEM starters included with some of the final switchstart fittings from Gaash (around ~2010..2012) and many are still out there and working now - So are not bad starters

If my guess is right that the present day Osram "ST111 Longlife" are rebadged hn then they will be about the same
