Lovely! there was some of these Lanterns at the Back of my old place before the Silly PFI!

Thanks, yes we used to have the 120w SON version which as far as I know runs on 125w MV gear. I don't think there's any left with those lamps as they haven't been made for a while although Sylvania make the SHX110.

Yeah i agree with Paul, it looks like it is in need of a Re-Lamp

It is green (they all are) but the camera makes it look more so than it really is.
