Sylvania T17 One of Kevs' lamps. These are absolutely fascinating lamps and impressive to see and hold in person, just look at the girth of it! It makes the T12 below it look like a measly T5. This needs lighting at the next meet.

no more racoon style eyes on endcaps. Very Happy

Sooo a couple of 5ft (0.67A) in parallel would run it reasonably well? Is this a 110w lamp?

Awesome lamp/find! very rare..

@fluorescent:
90w lamp if its a F90T17, or 100w if its the more rare F100T17. A couple of those chokes in parallel may just work..

It's an F60T17/SDB VHO according to Danny's upload on LG...

F90T17 lamp is 1500 mA at 65 arc volts. I am not sure about F60T17 though might have different gas fill as those i think it runs on a standard VHO ballast from what ive heard.

The size of that beast! never seen a T17 in person, in fact this is only the second T17 vs T12 i've seen in a photo! How many lumens do you get out of one of those scary fuckers?

What a beauty! I didn't know you had this tube Kev! Would be great to see it lit Cool

Ok.. specs I saw for that are 205w & 1500ma (so calculates to around 137v then).
If this is a SDB, you gotta fire it up!! Awesome intense deep blue color (same as an Actinic-03 aquarium lamp if you've seen one of those lit) just don't stare into it !!

@lasagafield:
I'll have to upload my pic here, showing sizes T2 through T17!

If you upload a picture of that lot it'd be all of my christmas's lit up at once! Razz
