Yep you did well to rescue this one Kev! The 2' versions of this are rare, never mind a twin! I've seen a few 8' twins in my time as well as some 6' SRS. Bloody good battens!

Yes thinking back i think i did do well to get this. It is in MINT condition apart from the Crompton badge missing. It also runs so cool compaired to modern fittings, I have left this on all day 16 odd hours while i am at work then all night, You can touch it the ballast is nice and cool and the tubes are luke warm! You can see why these lasted so well!

Lovely fitting. I remember these from back in the day!
|
|
|||
|
Ths is a lovely little fitting. Can't help but admire the design an build quality.
|
|
|||
|
Have you crumbled yet Kev, and changed the tubes?
|
|
|||
|
electronic ballast and some quality edison tubes in it now kev?
|
|
|||
|
lol ofcorse jools!
|
|

These have to be up with Europas for build quality. Wondering if thir was ever a 2ft T12 SRS/QS?
|
|
|||
|
Is this old girl still up Kev? What lamps is this running now?
|
|
|||
|
Hi Tom yes it's still up but it shat the used Philips lamps it had faithfully run for the last 7 years they amazingly went EOL within a month of each other it now has a thorn polylux 20W 4000K in one side and a Hungary GE 20W/840 in the other!
|
|
|||
|
May the Thorn win! Funny how the old Philips tubes seem to fail after years of service with little warning!
|
|
|||
|
You clearly don't have OCD then Kev! It would have to be a pair of identical lamps for me!
|

|
Yeh I get that but I really wanted to life test the thorn next to the GE
