Urbis sapphire 2 my collection
This is my Urbis sapphire 2, this one runs 150w SON-T and has a aluminium canopy, it is also painted black and instead of the death-clip, it has the old-style locking mechanism. It has a electronic ballast and a NEMA photocell.
It has a hole and a crack in it’s bowl and has some corrosion on the base of the lantern. I think it will need repainting soon.
When opening the canopy, you can see the Harvard electronic ballast, the plastic sealsafe optic system and the unplugable connectors.
