These are vintage GE F20T12 "white" lamps off of the battleship USS Salem. They were sent to me by a Youtuber who goes by MrChrisRaymond. They are great. Awesome on both preheat and rapid start. "White" is a very nice color, almost like a modern 3500 K lamp. Enjoy.

Here is one my Christmas presents this year. It is a Ramsey FM10C FM stereo transmitter kit. It puts out about 10 mW of power, enough for about a 200 foot radius. Sound fidelity is amazing. Runs on one 9V battery.

Posted by: bamaslamma1003
Video duration: 102 seconds
As per request, here is my 14/15/20W HPF RS ballast firing up some GE F17T8CW Starcoat lamps. They fire up nicely. The label on the ballast should have said for 14, 15, 17, and 20 watt lamps.

How to Use a Charcoal Chimney, Part 1
Posted by: bamaslamma1003
Video duration: 271 seconds
Here is a summer barbecuing tip. Tired of spending money on lighter fluid? Tired of the nasty flavor it leaves in your food? Never fear, the charcoal chimney is here. I bought this device about two years ago and have not used lighter fluid since. Amazing how such a simple device can work so well.

The Best of Times
Posted by: bamaslamma1003
Video duration: 264 seconds
Just a demo of my sound system. The song is "The Best of Times" from Styx's album "Paradise Theatre." Possibly one of the greatest, if not one of the most underrated bands of the 70's/80's. The turntable is a vintage AR equipped with a Shure M97XE pickup. The amplifier is an early 90's model Teac SA-200. The speakers are Sony SS-MB350H bookshelf speakers. Enjoy.

HPF Rapid Start Ballast for 14, 15, and 20 Watt Lamps
Posted by: bamaslamma1003
Video duration: 135 seconds
Here is a rare ballast, a high power factor rapid start ballast for 14, 15, and 20 watt lamps. Normally ballasts for small lamps are low power factor, so when I saw this on Ebay, I had to snag it. Startups look a lot like RS ballasts for longer tubes. This ballast was made by Robertson Transformer Company

Blacklight Fun

GE F40 blacklight lamps doing their thing. The fixture is a Lithonia shoplight with a Magnetek Watt-Reducer HPF rapid start electromagnetic ballast. Awesome stuff. I'd like to find a set of F32T8 blacklights to go in my rapid start F32T8 fixture.

An Interesting Effect From an Electric Stove Coil
Posted by: bamaslamma1003
Video duration: 142 seconds
This video shows how charge coupled devices (ccd's) aka the light sensor in a video camera is sensitive to infrared radiation as well as visible light. When you turn your electric stove on, the coil gives off a lot of infrared (heat) radiation long before it gets hot enough to glow. At full temperature, the coil appears bright white to the camera, but only a dull red to the naked eye.

I like the way the HPF one starts too! Rapid Start two lamp F20 ballasts don't seen all that common. Nice! I have some LPF ones, but? I have seen single F15 lamps produce more light than they produce with two F20s!
By: XmasLightsGuy. on 25 Feb 11, 05:45:02
That HPF ballast has a great slow? startup! Those lamps are atleast 1960's if they have an inside etch...but are maybe even even older - maybe 1950's.

The 20watt fixture that is in? the back, is it made by cooper lighting because i have a fixture just like it.

NICE! I like them! They will last a long? time because they have the "full mercury" in them too. No Alto's or "Eco" brands there:) Good ole' magnetic rapid start ballasts too!
