I can't remember where it came from, but if any of y'all can use it, you can have it.
It's just gonna get broken or thrown out by my wife, if it stays here...

warehouse light bulb.
Or for signage!
Al Gore says "Think Green" people.
It is useless if it is touched with bare hands. Kind of like placing aluminum foil in a microwave.
If it is a Mercury Vapor or a High Pressure Sodium bulb like we use in light plants.

WTH does that mean??[?][?]
And sneeky, i'd box it up at the wife's diabetic supply house, with the "peanuts" and mark it FRAGILE... Although i'm sure the USPS would find a way to bust it...

How wide is the metal screw in part? (whatever they call it)

It almost looks like it would fit my yard light. I just had the electric company man out here yesterday replacing the bulb in mine....again. (They are in charge of maintenance) He replaced it a couple weeks ago. I told him it wasn't bright enough. Every since they changed to the new lights, they ain't worth the filament they are made from. I told him I could get more light out of a spot light then those new lights give off, but they don't fit.

Here's another pic, comparing it to a "regular" light bulb.Might work in your street light..
is there any markings on it?

This is only if its a quartz lamp, which I can tell by looking it is not. The base is called a mogul base, need better pics of the inside to tell if its High Pressurd Sodium, Metal Halide, or Mercury Vapor.

OK, more pics, commin-up...

or better yet why don't you sell it on ebay? )
Whatever you do with it ,Dont try to hook it up to a thermostat[:D]
[:)][:)][:)]I was thinking the same thing![:)][:)]
interesting. How would you ship it though so it doesn't get broken?
Geez, I guess you have to pick them up at the factory if you needed them. Yep, they're made in China.

Many electric motors draw less electricity than that one bulb.
Saw one of those at work a couple of weeks ago. The plant engineer is on an energy conservation kick. He found it as a night light at the shop behind the batch house. It was a 120 volt 1000 watt bulb! That bulb was drawing over 8 amps!!

Holeeeee SHEEP-DIP!!
Was thinkin about hookin it up as a "drive-way" light.
Prob. more like a "RUN-WAY" light...
Maybe i'll just do the "green" thing,,, and shoot it....[}:)]
JEFF
damn! that's a 1-1/3 horsepower light bulb.
I know it..... I shouldda just left it where i found it ..Or popped it with a stick....

I talked to the power guy, and since they are responsible for maintenance on the light, they won't let me put a bulb in it. I think it's the fact that they pay for the electricity to run the thing, and they don't want to pay the $1,000 a month it would take to run it. I also believe that is the reason the bulbs they use now aren't worth.........****....[}:)]
Thanks anyway.
Jeff
1 huge light bulb
1 .223 varmit rifle
put 600 yards between the two
listen for the "pop"
What'd they do Pickenup? Put a 40 WATT bulb in it???[:D][;)]
Jeff
40 watt....Good un. [:D][:D]
It's a 100 watt, I checked. I think they "used" to use a 300 watt. That one would light up more than just the pole. Sure wish I could try yours out, I think it would fit.
But the threat of fines and parts replacement costs, and such.......[V]

Looks more like a 1000-1500 watt incandescent to me. I used to change them at the local football field. (80 feet high)
I'll bet it would make a great pop sound if you hit it.
I like the way you think.
Wish I had a " bright" idea on what you could do with it FK41. If you screwed it in your light socket, my lights would dim!!
I thought about solderin a cut-off x-tention-cord to it, and pluggin it in...But, I got SKEERT!!![B)]
