What an awesome lamp this is James! Thank you so much for bringing this for me. For it to be both T17 and Powergroove and 8ft is a dream come true.

This is brilliant! I cannot believe that i finally got to see one of these in person! This is one tube i never thought id get to see. Thanks so much for bringing this and those SOH lamps, i remembered on the way home that i have a lucidor with a philips L4045 ballast on it for 45/60/85w lamps so i plan to run it on that so its run correctly

Nice see this lit across pond. I dont even own a 8 foot PG tube. Mine are 4 and 6 footer

I was astonished to find this standing in the bin at my local dump in Aarschot, Belgium, and there was no way that was going off to be crushed! The attendant let it out and said he's seen them many times before, so there must be some secret T17 users somewhere in Belgium. He now knows there'll be something in it for him if any more ever turn up, so I hope we might get more of them at next year's meet!

Let's hope so James. I'm sure there are plenty of loving homes that would welcome a T17

Bloody hell thats kind of good news James!
