Hi all,

I need some help in identifying the lamp I need to use to replace in my Philips Outdoor Bulkhead light. The lamp itself will need a bayonet fitting, but inside the main housing there appears to be a transformer and a starter (like a strip light but fatter). I have taken some pictures of the fitting and body internals if anyone can help. It had a 240v standard lamp in it before, but looking at the internals I don't think this is correct.

Help please.

Its either a SON or metal halide fitting.
I would need to read the print on the ballast to be sure.

Vince, thanks. I'll take it apart again and get some details off the ballast.

Regards,

Vince, sorry for mucking around, but I have decided after looking at SON and Metal Halide Lamp prices to replace the whole light fitting.

Thanks for your help all the same.

Regards,

No worries.

Think you must be shopping in the wrong place though. Laughing Laughing
