trojmiejski napisał(a):80W is a nice power, shame that those fixtures aren't working. Interestingly those tubes on photos don't look longer than 40W tubes.
Believe me, SKZL are really huge fixtures, in photo this is not seen
80 W tubes are same size as 65 W, so they aren't very much longer than 40 W. SKZL lanterns in many cities are not in use from the ending of 70's. There are no theese lanterns left in the streets, only near factories, schools and etc. This line I found in smal city, but it is not in use. There were some problems with SKZL in winter, also they are without starters, so there were problems with ballasts in theese lanterns. So in big cities they were removed from the streets only after ~10 years of using...Utilizer napisał(a):In 60' produced only 20,25 and 40W tubes
Interesting, I thought, you had 65 W tubes earlyer, than USSR
