Failed Phlips XWC
Just failed tonight and didn't realise how much light it produced until it stopped working. Lamp is roughly 2.5 years old. I just get the odd flicker every few minutes.

What lamp was it

I think its Philips if I remember rightly. It's freezing tonight so not looked yet.

Be interesting to see what the lamp looks like. As these have built in ignitors the lamp might light until the ignitor cuts out?

Hopefully will be fine with a new lamp!

Whats the crack with this then ???

Well a new lamp came today and I have just tried it, though straight away I didn't hold out much hope as the old lamp looked fine. Didn't work so is now on my workbench. Bypassed the light sensor circuit and works fine! Smile It's a very simple, old school circuit using standard, easily obtainable components so will be easy to repair.

Interesting. Id wire that out and fit a NEMA cell next to it

Yeh NEMA for 100% reliability
