Hi folks,

Wondering if anyone has experience with suspended HQL lamps (Thats the German name, I think they are a.k.a. Mercury Vapour lamps). I'm living in Germany and can get them 'used' on ebay pretty cheap.
Don't see them mentioned here much so wondering if I'd better steer clear although their retro look appeals to me.

Cheers

Thanks for the feedback. I guess the benefit of such a suspended lamp is that you can quite simply change light intensity by adjusting it's height.
Edvet, what kind of bulb are you running? I see they are all in the red side of the spectrum, but I would like to find the bulb which is least red of all.
