NOS Atlas/Ekco 140w SO/H lamp The dewar jacket is Atlas made, and the arc tube is made by Ekco. I obtained it from a fellow collector about 3 years ago now, and in the time Ive had it, have not yet lit it. I plan to combine it with one of the cutoff Revo C13660/T Daleks for display purposes.

I seem to remember him saying its NOS, certainly looks it anyway. Im amazed by just how much sodium is used in these.

you may have trouble striking it, i was given a new old stock inner tube for one of these, was dead, till i tried it on a set of 250 son gear, after 5 min of dim flickering, it fired up rarther rapidly ! left it burning 24 hours then on a 140 leak tranny, works first go every time now

Flipping hell if I knew you had this I would of asked to see this lit when I came down !

I don't think its ever been lit, it'll need a day or so of running just so it don't get messed up.
