Schreder Sapphire 2 with a SON-T 150W, cycling in green at the playground of Lilenblum street, Kiryat Ata
[url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suSsE9o5kfg[/url]
I watched this video that I captured at the playground of Lilenblum street before uploading it to Youtube, and found that after the lamp that cycles in green warming up and extinguish at 1:21, from 1:21 to 1:55 the ignitor ignites it and the lamp glowing dimly and at 1:44 the ignitor lights the full mercury discharge directly from its pulses (50 pulses/sec), but unable to stabilize it so that the ballast would take over the discharge, so at 1:55, when the ignitor get silent, the discharge extinguish.
At 2:55 the ignitor pulsing until 3:10. during this period, the arctube remains completely dark.
At 5:10 the lamp finally restrikes and warms up and at 5:47 it shuts off completely.
As the ignitor have such complex timed pulsing, I think it is not Philips but Tridonic and anti-cycle pulse ignitor, from the powerPULSE series. Unfortunately, I don't find information about it in Google, and I don't remember how the ZRM 4000, which is the last model of anti-cycle pulse ignitor of Tridonic, working.

Good to see I finally got you on here dor after asking the admin is this near camel hospital? Question

No. This is at a playground at Lilenblum street, Kiryat Ata. I don't know who rejected me and banned my email address.

Interesting that just on the ignition voltage you get the actual sodium colour back!, never seen a HPS do that before!

I've seen the same phenomenon on low frequency pulse ignitors like Eltam ES-50 when the lamp flashes sodium or mercury color, but not with this ignitor. Keep in mind that when the ignitor stopped pulsing, the discharge extingused because the ballast didn't managed to took over the mercury discharge.

Update: It seems that the OEM ignitor that came with the Schreder Sepale in Kiryat Ata, are also Tridonic and not Philips, as they behaves similar regarding to cycling detection. I think the exact model is Tridonic ZRM 4.5-ES/CT.
