Holophane 100watt mercury vapor wall pack

This is my Holophane 100watt mercury vapor wall pack. It is 120volt and it is in very good shape! This light came from an electrical utility manager in a small city near my parents home. My dad introduced me to him while he was designing a railroad spur in their community. The electrical utility manager showed me their fine collection of vintage lighting equipment. Then he let me pick some items out to have for my own, he gave me other items too, and explained what they were. The manager and me visited for over have an hour talking about lighting equipment. We will hopefully be seeing each other often.

i have a 50 watt regent mv fixture,if i put a small 70 watt hps or mh will it light or destroy the bulb?

@firealarmtech I think that the 70watt HPS or MH bulb will just not work right. If your looking for a 50watt MV bulb I think Menards still sells them.

Nice!

Glass thick to prevent UV getting through?

[Parrot175]

@robertgift I don't think so. I thing it is thick just for protection.
