My Collection: 35W SOX Gears

This page documents all of the 35W SOX gears and components in the collection. 35W SOX lanterns are probably the most-numerous type of lantern in the collection, so naturally gears for these lanterns have accumulated too. Not many of these remain free of lanterns though, and most get fitted as replacements or repairs inside lanterns in the collection. 35W SOX gears can also run 26W SOX-E. Some 35W gears can also run 55W SOX/36W SOX-E without issues.

This gear-board was a gift from fellow collector AgentHalogen_87. The gear-board can run 26W SOX-E, 35W SOX, 36W SOX-E or 55W SOX. It's simple layout and easy-connect terminals make it the go-to option for testing low-wattage SOX lanterns.

Fitted is a Zodion SS55 two-part photocell. A test-switch allows the cell to be temporarily bypassed.

A Philips BSX 355 L82 ballast was used.

Along with a Cambridge Capacitors 8µF capacitor and Philips SX72 ignitor. The capacitor has a hand-written date-code referring to the 19th June 1992. The capacitor's manufacture date is the 11th week of 1991.
