mercury vapor has a 400 watt draw and the metal halons have a 250 watt draw

Bulbtech has these new Titanium socket bulbs that are awsome, you can even program the lumens per current curve with their ilumination programmer. move over Bulbtaba and JB

I can't beleve that this has had almost 100 replies

Guys not trying to turn this into a BB(bulb brand) War just stating Facts. So you Bulbtaba and JB fans chill.

and whats worse than that is we put a few on as well I will try to get those new titanium sockets, do they come with standard mounts or will I have to go custom???

if you go large you will need a ballast and a starter, this will add weight and instability

I had four pilots turn the house while I held the bulb and I still cannot get this bulb off the ground???whats the deal???

With all this talk of JB and Bulbtaba, we're leaving some out... what's new with Bulbtec and Bulbtronics?

20 amps
120 volts
heavy duty switches
good wire

Something 75 to 100 watt arena. What are your thoughts?

Hey we using 220 volt bulbs. Find they work well at 50hz. Like 100 watt.

I never tried those europena mode 2 50hz bulbs.

I beleve thay make an adaptor

Got them in mode 1 here. Thinking about going mercury vapour or halogen.

BIG NEWS !!!!
BULBTABA is dropping their production line of the 5633 bulbs,
bulbs have been found in the state of Califoria to cause gitters and glithes on all frequencies in lab rats,bulbs unable to sustain a true flight path, bulb tends to have an extremly high voltage draw during normal operations and the clear coating is extremly flameable.

I cannot afford a crane due to the high costs of these bulbs
I tried flourecent bulbs but was unable to screw the tubes into the existing socket and unable to find the new titatium sockets for said bulbs
