1980...1989



OK-2/1 (Polam)

Polish industrial luminaire (production from the late Socialist era or the beginning of the rampant democracy of the 90s).

Тройник

Another splitter. The pins were riveted to the contact plates, but eventually rivets had to be replaced with bolts. The upper socket is quite deep, just for the depth of the "Schuko" plug, but the plug part, of course, does not fit in modern sockets, so after the replacement of all wall sockets with recessed ones, there is no reason to use it.

«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?

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.

  • Русский


SLA 40 (Electrofar)

Romanian starter in a polyethylene case with a small hole, found in one of the PVLM luminaires from the Kaunas Radio Plant (KRZ).

  • Русский


HFG-2 (Tungsram)

Hungarian Tungsram starter for ignition of a single 4-22W lamp at 127V or same tandem lamps at 220V.

FL-40W-1 (Elektroimpex)

Here are lamps from Bulgaria. I found them discarded in working condition due to replacement with LEDs. These tubes do not have a date code. The coating is almost uniform like Philips. Pins are made of brass. 6500K color.

H 40W/Warm Weiss (Tež Tesla (tt))

The picture shows the tubes I got last year together with Tesla 40W DS tubes. I started arranging the gallery and I decided to place these tubes separately in relation to Tesla because they differ in a brand that is unknown for now because one man told me that they are not NARVA's productions.

Uplate: Tubes are from tt (Tež Tesla).These are export made, but ended up being sold on local market by mistake.
