Thats kind of odd, I wonder what happened to the rest of the fixture.

@Jace err maybe????? [I though Gulls were supposed to say MINE MINE MINE Razz

]

@Niall yeah I thought it was odd too, I looked around the store and could only find (aside from household and fluorescent fixtures) some Cooper 400w MH highbays for sale.

How much where the highbays?

joe_347V

[Jan 24, 2011 at 03:55 AM]

Don't know but I'm guessing around 15-20 ish

gailgrove

[Jan 24, 2011 at 03:57 AM]

Maybe you should get one Smile

This looks good!

Update:
I went back and it turns out those highbays weren't for sale and the guy said if they were they would have sold them for 200 and the lamp is worth 70 alone. Rolling Eyes

I picked up a LED exit sign with emergency lights and a 70w CMH PAR while I was there though.

@Niall hmm, I'll have to see if I can clear some space for it though.

@Ian thanks, you do a great job painting your lights too.

Wow, if they where selling them for $200 you'd better get a brand new one. Rolling Eyes

joe_347V

[Oct 09, 2011 at 11:37 PM]

And they were only old probe start ones too. Shocked

gailgrove

[Oct 09, 2011 at 11:41 PM]

And those horribly expensive $70 lamps. Rolling Eyes

I'd love to know where they buy them.

joe_347V

[Oct 10, 2011 at 12:03 AM]

Me too considering the overpriced box stores only sell them for 30 each. Rolling Eyes

Maybe the lamp was made with ultraclear glass and gold plated connectors. Laughing

Better last 40,000 hours too! And none of that exploding stuff either. Laughing

joe_347V

[Oct 10, 2011 at 12:07 AM]

Also needs something to prevent that pesky colour shifting too. Laughing

gailgrove

[Oct 10, 2011 at 12:25 AM]

Yep - its got to stay at it's full lumen output and stay the same colour it's entire life! Razz

And while theyre at it, they might as well make it totally indestructable. Smile

That way if the gull starts doing juming jacks on a DuraBlah, the lamp will hit the gorund, not shatter and still work. Laughing

joe_347V

[Oct 10, 2011 at 03:54 AM]

Now the question is: will you pay 70 bucks for it? Laughing

streetlight98

[Oct 10, 2011 at 03:55 AM]

Not unless it comes with a lifetime warrenty ans is garenteed to outlive me. Laughing

joe_347V

[Oct 10, 2011 at 07:10 AM]

Sorry extended warranty is extra. Laughing

streetlight98

[Oct 10, 2011 at 02:48 PM]

EXTRA!

No thanks, i'll just buy a mercury vapor lamp for it for under 15 dollars. Razz

NOS 60s BonusLine for 5 bucks. Razz

R47 Insides - Updated

Here's a picture of my R47 after I swapped out the corroded original terminal block with a newer one I found yesterday, and after I repainted it and added a ground block back in April last year. Click Here to see how it looked before it was painted.
