Westinghouse 700W LifeGuard Mercury lamp
|
heres a Picture of my 700W Westinghouse Mercury lamp from the US, fully run up.
I have had this lamp for a good few years now, but this is the first time I have been able to light it, as US 700W Mercury lamps are electrically different then British ones, US 700W MV lamps run at 265V 2.8A, British 700W MB Lamps run at 135V 5.4A, so for me to run this lamp it required a rather complicated and special setup.
(even in the US most collectors with 700W MV lamps have not lit theirs, as 700W Mercury gear is very rare, as it was a rather uncommon wattage)
