Looking at the remains of that sticker could it be another Lehrolite? Makes sense since it's the same basement...
Has this one come down and come home with you yet Mike?
Yes this is the twin to Joe's The only two lights that match. All the otheres are unique from one another. Ahh thanks. I'd appreciate the label scan or picture. Nope, I've only gotten two lights so far. The one for Joe and the one that died.
You'll know. Probably not for some time... I need to fuse my Harmony House light and the WWII industrial single lamp preheater while I'm at it. I will probably fuse the 1973 shop light too. Lights that might run unattended for more than a few minutes...
Would be nice if fluorescent fixtures came with a fuse...
Especially one of those twist-lock ones on the outside...
If the lamp next to the above fixture is a F40CW I have an identical Sylvania from the same era...
GTE? Mine isn't GTE; it's the same etch as those 90s Sylvania Design 50 lamps. Hope this isn't a stupid question but I don't remember...have you seen this light working, even with one lamp, in the past?
it's a cool light. To be hnest, this is probably the 1950s equivalent to an LOA shoplite lol. The metal is nice and thick but you can see the reflector is shallow and there's no real "bling" on the light. It's not overbuilt like a lot of other old fluorescents but it's certainly overbuilt by today's standard. hopefully this one's ballast and ballast leads are in as good condition as it's twin.
