Thanks for posting this fascinating and informative video Adams Lighting LLC. Your videos are always great and there's no need for editing in my opinion. Great narration too. I'm always excited when a video from you pops up in my notifications.
Freaking BEAUTY! I don’t have an NA-9, but do have many other cool lamps including some of the very first fluorescent lamps put on the market with “thermal auxiliary” and a “magnetic auxiliary” ballasts, and a very early glow-switch auxiliary ballast from Westinghouse made in very early 1939! It uses the insanely rare “GB-1” first ever made glow bulb starter in a double contact candelabra bayonet socket on the ballast! Thing of beauty and has neon gas in it. As for asbestos, I don’t even worry about it. We did asbestos abatement as part of our building demolition company in the early 1990’s, and I had a PAPR mask, we had a negative air machine, etc, and it was a freaking joke! Absolute government beauracracy at its very worst, and a joke!! I have several old lighting items with it in them and also PCB oil filled Pyranol capacitors, and will leave them as is. My experience actually going to school to get a certificate to “legally” “abate” asbestos and doing it taught me that it is bullshit and a money grab. Lol 😆 Cheers and beautiful lamp and ballast!! I have an actual bench test ballast for AH-1 and any H33, H25, or H1 400 watt medium and high pressure mercury lamps that came from a GE lab that also has the voltage taps like this one. It is a beauty! Cheers and Happy New Year!
I’m with You - I have an extreme emotional love for early Fluorescent Lighting , Also have the 1938-39 fluorescent tubes and fixtures in the collection- Absolutely Love this stuff,
Thank You! Those must be quite rare, i newer seen a working sodium lamp of this kind from this era surviving that long complete with all the other components.
@@ALT-9167 what’s the listing under? I looked for low pressure sodium, but couldn’t find anything. All the fixtures I’ve seen her in terrible shape so it would be nice to have an actual reference.
Can’t get enough of these Videos!
Always enjoy seeing everyone of them ,
A beautiful and important part of Lighting History- I could easily stair at this amazing Light for hours!

Thank you for sharing. I've always had a fascination with lights.
Very cool. I’ve never seen a GE low pressure sodium lamp.
Please never stop making videos
Awesome to see it running on the original ballast!

There is a possibly new old stock M-2 fixture on ebay
