Pats MAGA Gear. 
Got some pretty interesting results running these on the variac with a power monitor. The Dyna vision was a constant 277W no matter what I did no matter what the lamp no matter what voltage give or take a couple of W either way. The mag gear was very much dependent on voltage, at 230V it was a current draw of exactly 269.9 W so about 8W more efficient than the dyna vision. That was with a GE CMH however with the supposed Philips Eco 230W lamp power consumption went up to 270 7W. Also the Dyna vision I took the voltage right down to 149 before the lamp extinguished interestingly even on mag I took the voltage down to 157 before the lamp extinguished however at that voltage it was only pulling 130W if I opt the voltage on mag to 247v it was pulling 325W.

All this gear and lamps ripped out when it’s still like new is tragic Sad, that looks a pretty clean set for ex street lighting Cool

Yeh and they were even cleaner than this to be fair these have been sat in my barn over Christmas

The Arcs did an excellent 20 years service (those that were left mag), proper lanterns completely sealed still were mint inside. Might not have saved much energy or any at all with the Dyna vision node conversion lol

No but the Dali was connected to maybe they dimmed them or planned to?

Nothing on the Dyna Visions about dimming I think? Saved afew of the nodes too
