Old F20 Preheat Aquarium Light
Here's an old F20 preheat aquarium light (don't know the age though i'd guess at least 70's)

This originally had one of those "push & hold to start" switches, but i added a starter because when i had this in use, the tank lights were on a timer.

Note how the ballast is mounted in-line on the cord rather than in the fixture.

We could date it.....if the lamp is original or if the ballast has a date code!

The original lamp was long gone when I got the fixture.
I looked on the ballast for a datecode before posting the pic, but didn't see one

Ballast text reads:

15w Ballast P1 115
118v .30A 60C 781C
