Osram 80w MBF lamp (dimmed out)
|
This is the worst case of greening out I've ever seen on a MBF lamp. It was removed from a maintenance contract we have. Not originally reported as being unlit, it had actually started cycling while we were repairing a floodlight adjacent. The fact it was run on 70w SON gear probably didn't help this lamp much at all. A 70w MH lamp replaced it, a massive improvement.
Removed and brought home, I powered it up in a Thorn Gamma 6. It didn't actually light the bowl at all until it was fully warmed up, even then, it was just dim and useless output. In comparison, a 8w fluorescent tube is actually brighter. At night, it couldn't barely light my room, so a good thing we replaced it.
