Светофор карликовый двузначный (ДЭТЗ)

I was never going to become a collector of railway traffic lights, I understand them less than superficially, so I will be grateful for any clarifications and explanations regarding this device from more knowledgeable people.

Светофор карликовый двузначный (ДЭТЗ)

This is the first of two train traffic lights that have graced my room this year. Its acquisition history is short. I dreamed of having an old railway traffic light for a long time, but I drove those thoughts away. And once in summer I was sitting one evening on the prism of a dead end of an industrial station and drinking beer. And suddenly I realized that I needed to act. I got up, found the railway employee and agreed with him to buy out the old traffic light, allotted to be replaced with a new one. During the acquisition process, no one was hurt and everyone was happy.

ЛСП06-2x40/П20-16УХЛ4

Double-lamp fluorescent fixture 2x40W. A conventional splitted-phase starter ignition circuit is used. One lamp is switched on through the UBI choke (photo 6), the other through the UBE in series with the capacitor. The capacitor is neatly placed in a plastic case and strapped with a galvanized tape with a cardboard lining. It has a specific smell. An interesting feature is the use of chokes from different series of the UBI 093 series, and the UBE 910 series.

ЛГ 40 [1966] (ПЗГРЛ)

This lamp appeared in my collection quite unexpectedly, during the analysis of old garage stocks of the now deceased grandfather of one of my friends. Among the unnecessary trash on the shelf in the dust, there were several Soviet fluorescent tubes, including this one. At first examination it did not stand out as anything interesting: regular T12, the marking was not visible. After washing and drying at the end of the lamp at a certain angle of incidence of light, I could hardly see the LG 40 10.70 marking and the PZGRL plant icon.

«Снежинка» (ВЗР)

Flasher for Christmas garlands. Received in 2014. Has a smooth adjustment of the flashing frequency and the "off" position. During operation a neon lamp shines in a snowflake at the front panel. I don't know the exact production date, since the device is under two (!!!) seals and I will definitely not break them for this. If it ever breaks down (which is impossible for Soviet technology), I'll find out the year of manufacture. The top of the regulator has a dust protection fabric and the insides are not visible.

BVA 250 (Electrofar)

The legendary Romanian tin can for independent use, which I received as a gift on May 12, 2011, along with the Polish mercury lamp. The last photo from the post shows the original condition of the ballast. Years later it was covered with silver, then gray "SKZR-type" paint. The body was also straightened as much as possible. I saw such ballasts built into LBL luminaires, but was it a factory assembly?

1УБИ-40/220-НП (ХЗТП)

This exhibit is not independent, as it is part of the L4071-02 fixture. I wonder how many lamps did it kill since 1968?..

1И250Н37-003-У1 (УРПС)

Independent ballast for 250W Mercury Vapor lamps, classics for upgrading of all kinds of "hat luminaires" and part of SZPR-250 luminaire. These are ideal for dry conditions, but they can also work outdoors. The problem is that the cover screws rust, the seals crumble and water flows freely inside. We call all chokes of this type simply "gatchin".

The exhibit is in a "new" condition, never used.

ZTE/2 (Polamp)

 Polish starter, which was included with Polish fixtures. It seems that I saw some similar ones in Pripyat (chernobyl), in the MSCh-126 itself, but mostly there are ZTE/1s.

ZTE/1 (Polamp)

A Polish starter, I noticed many of these in the MSCh-126 in Pripyat (Chernobyl), there were also Polish lamps there. The marauders took the ballasts, but all the starters remained.
