RESTORING A PREHEAT LAMP!

THANK YOU FOR THE 1K SUBSCRIBERS!
In this video I restore a really rundown preheat F20T12 lamp that was in an old house my father was remodeling in Coyoacán, Mexico City.
It dated back to the 1960's and, as expected, had a ton of old lightning equipment. This old lamp turned out to be an amazing DIY project for me!
Hope you like this video!

Very nice work! I remember my mother used to have these for growing house plants. She used to blue tubes (hard to find now!) I think they were called Gro-lite or something like that. Made by General Electric. Thanks for sharing! ☺💡💡💡

[@THEBULBHOME]

Wow! Never heard of those, but I suppose they let some UV radiation out for the plants to grow, right? It would be lovely to find one nowadays! Thanks for commenting!

[@Imakeelectronicchaos]

How good job the fitting looks brand new now

[@pillow7306]

I love old preheat fixtures. It's super hard to find t12 tubes now tho...

[@WeNeedSomeMusic]

At least you didn't convert it to leds, or I would rage in my room

[@Imakeelectronicchaos]

Same haha

[@WeNeedSomeMusic]

@@Imakeelectronicchaos Instead. convert led to preheat

[@Imakeelectronicchaos]

@@WeNeedSomeMusic yep

[@magnetron6]

​@@WeNeedSomeMusic I changed the lighting of the workshop from LED to preheating. I like fluorescent lighting much more than LED, it works for about 30 years.

Can you show us that bulb burning out

[@worldwidehidcollectorusa3519]

The old ballast for this fixture is the largest single lamp F20T12 preheat ballast for the North American market!!!

[@WilmingtonOHProductions]

So over the summer I found 2 electronic dual F17 T8 fixtures and I paid $5 (USD) for both of them and I converted them to preheat and then installed them in my garage and the are running F17 T8 Phillips Alto II Daylight Deluxe Bulbs

[@Daffyduck-u9j]

it was the old florescent fixing you have saved

[@Selmarya]

What about the bulb that had the loud transformer from almost a year ago

[@THEBULBHOME]

Clients decided not to go on with the remodeling, so it is still in the place where I filmed it...

that light is very quiet compared to mine in the garage 😅😅

[@WeNeedSomeMusic]

Are the metal parts loose

[@WeNeedSomeMusic]

If it's loose then it causes vibration and noise
