Well, I've never seen one of those before!

These are an absolute beauty of a SON lamp. Thorn's brilliant idea of putting the 70w tube in an R95 was simply amazing. Shame that there are CDMR lamps now hence it's demise.

These are lovely. Quite rare now from what I can tell.

There was a sports center in Crewe called the Oakley, (closed down now), the whole reception was fitted with these! Very Happy, proper rare lamps now!

Is the sports centre still there but derelict?
