My new Plusrite 400 watt Mercury Vapor DX lamp. Got it from ebay, I wanted a 400 watt MV lamp for a while, so I got this one on ebay for 6 bucks, (+shipping). I know not the best quality lamp.. But heh. xD I don't always want the best quality. Sometimes I want any lamp really. If it works, Yay! Keywords: Lamps

Hehe I also sometimes buy any lamp I could find even though it might be junk Very Happy

I will buy a good quality lamp in most cases, unless the cheapie is at a ridiculous low price that I can buy a whole lot for less than the price of the quality brand, and replacing them as they die is easy.

I usually buy Sylvania. I have a tendancy to break my 400w MV lamp in my M-400, so if it breaks again, I'm buying another china lamp. Right now is a Sylvania /DX standard envelope lamp. Before I used 400w MV Plusrite /DX cram lamps
LilCinnamon   [May 07, 2011 at 06:41 PM]
I have never broken a lamp yet, so trust me, I won't break this. xD

Don't screw this in tight. The basew will cave in. They use cheap bonding to hold the screw part to the contact.

I had that happen to a 100w yellow incandescent before, I still have it but it's packed away right now. Someday I'll desolder the leads and see if I can epoxy the base back on.

I thought of that, but it would just be better for me to but a new lamp as it was a junk lamp anyway and I'm not experienced with epoxy

Meh I got another one too but I'll have to try fixing the broken one later.

How is the shadow on this? xD

Blueish? Razz

This one is one of the worst brand I have ever used!
streetlight98   [May 10, 2011 at 08:29 PM]
I did like the color though. It was a cooler white. It was a bit greenish and not glarey.
GullWhiz   [May 10, 2011 at 09:22 PM]
Because the coating wasn't phosphous...it was a simple coating....
joe_347V   [May 10, 2011 at 09:47 PM]
I have a Feit MV lamp that's like that too, it looks more like a diffused clear merc when lit.
streetlight98   [May 11, 2011 at 12:18 AM]
Yes, it was phosphor coated. It said /DX on the box. I noticed the coating was very thick, like on my china no name 175w merc.
