Philips 250w SON-T Comfort Pro (SON Deluxe): Full Power
1 x Philips 250w Deluxe tubular high pressure sodium with slightly cooler colour temperature and a greatly improved CRI index that beats some fluorescent!
The lamps gives off a lovely warm glow and the better colour rendering index is quite noticeable and nice.

Interestingly, the measured electrical characteristics differs somewhat from the datasheet specifications.

Nice lamp. Shame they've been long discontinued. What gear is it running on?

250w SON gear.

I remember the town centre of Frodsham being lit with 400 watt SON-E deluxe in the early 90s, it was stunning to see at night Cool

Is it take longer time to warm up compared to a standard SON-T?

Yes. Frodsham is nice, quite a few nice pubs there! I frequently photograph special trains going over the bridges at the nearby river weaver.
