Yep its T12.
135 Watt

I'd love to have a couple of these...but even if I ever found some (and managed to get them home) trying to store them somewhere would be a real pain.

I'd actually love to find the 9-foot 124w (F108T12) version too (if I ever do find one of those the first thing that's gonna happen is...test on 8' SS ballast Laughing

) 9' would be slightly easier to get home & store, but still a pain

Such things as a F114T12 & a F117T12 do exist too (no F111T12 though...)

These lamp is 135 watt 800 mA but since this 10 footer have higher arc voltage i think it will ballance it self out on 125 choke and cap. I do want to switch start one of these. These HO lamp start at 18 inches with every 6 inches increment up to 120 inches. These are use in Signs.

I didn't realise they made lamps longer than 8ft. I would have thought anything longer would be completely impractical to make, store and use ect. Question
