Philips 18w Sox Here is a shot of one of the Philips 18w SOX fittings recessed into the ceiling at our Local Sainsbury's store. They were installed when the store was constructed in 1983 and were powered up during closing hours. Don't think they are used now.

18W SOX?
RobTDCI   [21 Apr, 2016 at 11:28 PM]
Yes Very Happy from 1983

Bizarre to see SOX installed indoors like that! Cheap to run I suppose!
Kev   [21 Apr, 2016 at 11:32 PM]
Ideal for low running cost police lights! Is there many of them rob?
RobTDCI   [21 Apr, 2016 at 11:37 PM]
Not counted but would say roughly 4.

This supermarket 24/7 now?
RobTDCI   [21 Apr, 2016 at 11:43 PM]
8 in the Morning to 10 At night. It's a relatively small supermarket by todays standards.

Mine had these too. They ripped them all out last year when ceiling was removed. Its now all open plan with suspended continuous LED strips. I worked there in the mid 90's, never saw them lit however.

Shame 18w sox bulkheads are so fucking hard to get hold of. Would be nice to save these some how.

I`ve seen GECs Pathlite 10 in use for the same job when I was a kid.
Kev   [23 Apr, 2016 at 12:17 AM]
I agree Jonny! Gold dust! They go for stupid money on eBay now
jonny-m   [23 Apr, 2016 at 12:34 AM]
