Came for the sekonic as I used to buy stacks of them to align the color of video cameras. To reach the required 3200 degrees I had to run them at 14.8V. At this voltage accurate measuring was only possible in their first 30 minutes of life.
Hey Parrot. I came across a box of Slyvania par 38 Mercury lamps, in a friend's garage, he said I could have them. There all individually boxed and look in working condition. Only I can't test them as I have no fitting lol
Does anyone here know why the R9 value for this halogen bulb is lower than what it would be for a regular incandescent? That seems a bit strange to me since this still is a type of incandescent bulb
Unfortunately halogen bulbs are not worth the 2024! i had some sylvania 50W halogen bulbs about 350 lumens 2700K spot and I really felt a very intense heat, it was hotter than a HPS or MV bulb, I put my hand close to 10 points and within seconds i started to feel a slight burning sensation whereas with a mercury or HPS lamp I just felt a nice heat in my hand and changed them to LED 4.2W 350 lumens 6500K from Sylvania again spot
yes ok they may have better and more pleasant light than most led bulbs but they are not worth it halogen bulbs use a lot of current and little light and no there are 50w halogen bulbs that give 350 lumens but usually 50w halogen bulbs give more than 500 -600 lumens , the ones I had were not efficient and I changed them not because they used a lot of power but because they were at a low height so they got very hot and up to which burned a little bit a bag and the insulation of cable leaned against the lamps and that's why I choose LEDs warm white 2700 or 3000K which have a more pleasant color/light if I want a whiter light, natural 4000K or cold 6500K I personally prefer fluorescent lamps in this case and in general I prefer fluorescent lamps for indoor and they have very sweet color/light nothing to do with LEDs and for outdoor spaces I prefer ceramic metal halide CDO and HPS lamps which are the best in terms of light quality and color which is warm light and very efficient lamps!!
That is a super cool halogen bulb! I love how this light has a cool rainbow effect. Also, this light dims beautifully.

Halogen bulbs can sometimes explode at EOL

There 100w btw

a 50w halogen bulb is gonna be way more than 350 lumens
Halogens output a much nicer light than most LED's
