  • Self-Ballasted Mercury Vapor Lamp? It's dimmable.

  • @evangoe

    I did try dimming it with an old Lutron Rotary dimmer, it didn't dim very well and the arc went out at about 75%.

  • That's not an MV lamp. I see the filament. It looks like a self ballasted MV, but it's not.

  • It is a self ballasted Mercury Vapor.

    Hard to see the actual arc tube in this video but I'll try to get you a picture I took with the exposure adjusted.

  • Where did you buy?

  • @yuandrew Ok. Self-Ballasted Mercury Vapor Lamp? It's rated 6,000 hours, lasts 5 years before replacement.

  • I don't think this is possible, but... it could be both. I see light coming from below what seems to be a filament.

  • I dislike SB mercury lamps, because they only have the life of the fillimant, and have no warm up time, which i like as its easier on the eyes.

    However they are still alot better than most other types of lamps. Kool video!

  • Not too energy efficient (the lumen per watt is actually no better than an incandescent bulb) but still a whole lot of fun to have and operate.

    I actually left this bulb with my friend (RainJetSprinkler's) a few months back and it's being used along with some F32T8 fluorescent lights to light up his shop/garage.
