That’s a gorgeous fitting Simon! What tubes are installed? They look to have a good red content in them. Cool

Thanks Andy, this fitting was a Christmas present when I was a kid. Left tube is a unbranded Daylight from the 1960s and the right one is a Philips (Polish) MCFE 840

Nice pic Simon that’s an old crompack!

That is gonna be 60 years old this year!!! Classic style of the 60s design what's not to love about it!
Flurofan96   [27 Jun, 2025 at 09:46 PM]
The design is just utterly beautiful - bonus that it has one being a triphosphor T12 that is the proper argon filled one Cool and is the starter an electronic one cos of its green colour?

Excellent Very Happy looking mint at 60 years old Cool

That's a nice example indeed!

Very nice! Looks to be in great condition still too Cool

Perfection Cool, T12 tubes just look so much better! Very Happy
Flurofan96   [27 Jun, 2025 at 10:22 PM]
Hard agree @AngryHorse T12 will always remain my top fave fluorescent lighting although I greatly appreciate T8 fittings and T5s too Smile
Simon   [27 Jun, 2025 at 10:30 PM]
Thanks guys!... It is in original condition apart from a recent polish with T-cut @ Fluorofan Yep electronic starters I still have the originals Laughing
Flurofan96   [27 Jun, 2025 at 10:32 PM]
@Simon: I thought so cos the colour looks Pulsestarter to me Cool good choice to preserve the tubes and to create an almost SRS start up experience Smile
Simon   [27 Jun, 2025 at 10:41 PM]
@Fluorofan Well spotted! All my fluorescent fittings have electronic starters apart from the 6ft pop pack over the garage door that is SRS

I can see that you like the 'smooth start' of fluorescent lighting on pulsestarter and SRS ballasted fixtures - so do I. Any magnetic fluorescent ballasts with the 'smooth start' is the top notch and far more interesting than electronic HF pre programmed start Smile

Nice looks pristine!

Thanks Kev!
