About Lamps

babygnugnu asked:


I bought these beautiful stain glass lamps. They have a greasy film that smells like gas on them. I’ve tried using windex, and even shampooed them, but the yucky smelling film is still there. Any suggestions on how to remove it? Also, is it dangerous (to turn on my lamps with that film?) or toxic (to the touch or smell)? Thanks!

I need the spectrum (image), as well as lumens and colour temperature specifications, of the following lamps from Philips: TLK/40W (which is an UV lamp), Cool White 18W/840 and the Master TL-D Super 80 18W/827. I have tried a crazy lot of searches with poor results. Or ideas on what lamps to use, beside HID- an HPS lamps, would also help. It’s for sustaining some Southern African trees (Acacia) indoors.
