OMG! These are AMAZING Al! First Atlas Artificial Daylights I've seen, probably the first to be made? Would be hard enough to find these beauties in their home country, never mind Downunder!

WOW! I'll second Tom on that! It's amazing these things are turning up like this round the other side of the world! Fantastic!

DEC 69

I don't blame you or not parting with any al! These are amazing! One I have never seen!

These are very lush!

Thanks guys, I had no idea they were so rare over there. Daylight has always been reasonably common here, way more common than 3500°K White.

LOL most of us here are pretty sick and bored of 35 white. I guess you guys feel similar about daylight 33? Both that and 29 warm white are still fairly common here tho and I'd have either over 35 any day! Such a boring colour, but pleasantly vibrant in triphosphor 835 form!

Al all atlas tubes are rare! they did stop being made in 1976/77 always nice when you find one though as I did today in the shape of a super five!

The most common (halophosphor) colour here has always been 33 coolwhite, next would be 54 Daylight. Colour 29, 34 & 35 were made here but are very rarely seen. Since tri-phosphors emerged more colours are seen here now. Like with the halo's, 840 & 865 are the most common, followed by 830 & 850. 827 & 835 are extremely rare here but they are around.

840 is most common here al and what I mainly install!

i have a T8 15w tropoical daylight version.. but these are just lovely

Thanks Jools.

I have the tropical daylight version?

Not sure we had those here Kev. I wonder if they are the same colour as these?
