After moving from Connecticut to Mississippi, I found my stash of the legendary Barn Burner Philips DL-50 Fatboy bulbs.

Those gems are worth about $18.50 each now. Pretty good return on your expenditure Id say!!. I'll take 56 of them at that price plus shipping. :grin2:😁😁😁:grin2:

Yeah, that was a nice haul. Wonder if they would sell on Ebay?
 
I was gonna say, d2s base, 50W, pretty sure they ran cooler than any 50W aftermarket bulbs (at least, ones that actually were fed 50W).

I've read that the salts actually improve with age, much like a fine wine. Here's the quote:

That's a new one on us at XeVision - Dan
Pretty much an infinite shelf life though.
Fine wines must be stored horizontally to keep the cork wet and sealed, also no extreme temperature swings.
