Philips 35W SOX PSG Getter Lamp (Red Cap)
Condition: New Old Stock (NOS) in original packet.
Back by popular demand! These are the premium, superior-quality PSG solid-state getter versions—not to be confused with cheaper, basic standard 35W SOX or SOX Plus lamps that use barium oxide getters.
Operation: Glows red initially and warms up to a bright, classic yellow over a few minutes.
Quality Assured: Every single lamp is fully bench-tested on professional gear before dispatch to guarantee it is in 100% working order.
⚠️ Important Buyer Information & Installation Guide
Please read the following technical requirements carefully before purchasing, as we cannot offer free replacements for damage caused by incorrect installation or faulty external gear:
Do NOT Connect Directly to 240V Mains:
SOX lamps cannot run directly off standard mains power. Doing so will instantly destroy the lamp. They strictly require a compatible ballast, ignitor, and capacitor circuit to operate safely.
Beware of Faulty/Burnt-Out Lantern Ignitors:
If your previous lamp burnt out completely, it may have damaged your lantern's internal ignitor. If you install this new lamp and it only flickers a dim red or fails to warm up fully, your lantern's ignitor is likely faulty.
Common culprits: Philips lanterns featuring the black plastic oblong-shaped ignitor, or Thorn lanterns with the round aluminum canister-type ignitor.
