Another ebay oddity.

Take a look at these. They appeare to be old Century blacklights, but I'm not sure how to describe that lamp. It looks like a PAR 38, but my brain tells me otherwise. Some sort of metal halide reflector lamp that lived a short production run?

Used to have several of those in Rental stock at a place I used to work. Good old work horse blacklights. Heck I'd buy em for $20.00.

Westinghouse 100w E14 Projector Flood.

Westinghouse as a brand stopped making lamps at least in the 1990's (they as a company pre-date any of my own catalog lamp/specs collecting.) Abco/Westinghouse company that now owns the Westinghouse brand name is not related to the lamp in the photo.

Looks as if the blue coating on the outside of the bulb is similar to what might be found on an Osram/Sylvania dichroic colored lamp if memory serves. The close up to the lamp could in theory be a bracket around a more normal PAR 38 flood lamp to mount a roundel to it. Could be an after market thing or something Westinghouse added to this “projector flood” lamp in coloring it mor making for a black light blue lamp.

E14 is kind of disturbing, this clearly looks as if a Medium Skirted Screw Lamp, in other words a classic example of a E26/50x39 for those interested in the lamp spec definition.

Love the cannon ball fixture to mount it, really cool looking and perfect for the grass. This really is a PAR ball as opposed to various PAR balls I have that either mount the lamp inside the ball, or mount the lamp within the ball but have a stand about it the ball pivots on.

These cannon balls no doubt weigh as much as a cannon ball in weighting the non-grounded fixture/lamp down.

I would say this or these fixtures with the lamp are well worth the asking price.

Nice link but DeAngilo/Abco ain't Westinghouse. It's as if Strand were Leko in being just a name they bought out. Abco as I still call them is a decent brand just not the same.

Before like the mid-1990's or early 2000's Abco and Westinghouse as if Leviton and NSI/Colortran were different companies. Abco bought out Westinghouse that's an ancient lamp company and took over that name for their lamp division. No longer the same lamp makers, just as if it were a Strand Leko, it's not a Century Leko, it's now a Strand Leko.

Have a look for this lamp I have in stock on the current Westinghouse website which is the same websit Abco used to have.

#7400 Westinghouse PAR 36, (SBL) Incd. (5̊x12̊) 35w/12.8v MP Mol 2.3/4"/300hr

Not going to find it... This not just because it is discontinued but because Abco never made this lamp. What is Abco is now called Westinghouse, but it's not, it's still Abco.

its basically the same thing that happend with SBC and AT&T... AT&T got bought out by SBC and SBC took the name and claimed they were there for ages... well they were only really there for a couple years before buying AT&T and taking the name and the credit for all the previous ages of work... and now another company has bought out "AT&T" and just took the name... so AT&T now isn't what it was 10 years ago, its been a couple different companies in fact.

westinghouse name has been sold to many different company's, all that make different things. Some chinese company has bought the name and now sells LCD TV's under the name. The company no longer exist, but people still connect it to good products from way back when, so the name still has a good price tag.

Did Westinghouse used to make industrial electrical equipment years ago? I believe I have seen that label on components I have seen while exploring abandoned factories.
