Osram GEC 4' 40W Batten Don't know the model. Removed this from a mates garage a couple of years ago, had been disconnected for years. Rather crudely made with a low power factor circuit, probably aimed at the domestic market. Hopefully I'll finally get round to restoring it soon.

Didnt someone on LG or ATL have one of these and put a HF ballast in it?

I've seen one of these somewhere before, can't remember where tho. That'll clean up just fine!
Danny   [24 Mar, 2017 at 07:36 PM]
Never in my life seen one of these cool

Never seen one of these before. Will look great when restored to glory Smile

I think Rob might have one! I'd certainly never seen one before either, uses standard push on lampholders bolted to the end caps.

Wish I could remember where I saw one of these in use, it's doing my head in now Sad

lampy   [24 Mar, 2017 at 08:38 PM]
wonder if that 8 69 on the choke is when it was made?

I uploaded a photo a few weeks back where I was relamping some of these!! Although the ones I worked on were HPF! Had the same black ballasts!!

Yes I fit an Osram quiktronic ballast for a short while but changed back to magnetic later and fully restored it. The original ballast became annoyingly noisy and eventually tripped the RCD constantly. Mine was from the paper round depot of the newsagents where I worked. There is still a barber's near me that has one of these lighting the window.

I own a 4ft and an 8ft one..
RobTDCI   [26 Mar, 2017 at 01:07 AM]
I've only ever seen them in 4ft and 5ft and had wondered if there was ever an 8ft. Mine is the high power factor model. The only thing i don't like about it is that the spine is a bit rough, its has what can be best described as fine groooves too the surface!

are these defo GEC as i opened one up years back, a derelict rusty one, it had a philips polyslim SRS ballast in it which i kept, 5 foot 80 watt

Some of these in a scout hut I look after. I'll see if I can open one up and have a look what make the gear is next time I'm in there....
