Product Overview
Model 6600-120-600W is the OEM factory replacement lamp for the Birns Oceanographics Snooperette, a 600 watt, 120 volt bulb sized to drop into the original fixture. The box carries the Birns Oceanographics, Inc. name and Los Angeles, CA address, and the model number is printed on that box label. That is the whole point of buying this one: it is the part Birns itself packaged and sold for the Snooperette, a known, ready-to-go replacement rather than a shot-in-the-dark order from a commodity big-box warehouse. The lamp's own white base shows only a partial voltage and wattage marking in the photos, not the full model number. This listing is for the lamp only - as photographed, no housing, socket, or fixture ships with it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does this lamp fit?
This is the Birns Oceanographics factory replacement bulb for the Snooperette, model 6600-120-600W. That model number comes from the original box label, which calls it out as the Snooperette replacement light bulb at 600W, 120V. The lamp's own base shows only a partial marking in the photos, so confirm the rating and fit against your fixture before ordering.
Is this lamp new, or has it been used?
New / unused old stock. The lamp ships still wrapped in its original manufacturer poly sleeve inside the original Snooperette box.
Has the lamp been tested?
Not confirmed - new incandescent lamps like this one are not powered on before sale, since doing so uses up filament life the buyer is paying for. The photos are the spec: an unused bulb in its original wrap and box.
Why buy this specific lamp instead of a surplus lot?
This lamp is stocked as a single unit, not a mixed surplus lot of unknown grade. It is also the OEM part - the lamp Birns Oceanographics boxed and labeled for the Snooperette, so you are buying a high-quality, ready-to-go replacement instead of taking a shot in the dark on a commodity big-box order. What is photographed is exactly what ships, still in its original Birns Oceanographics packaging, so you know the fit and condition before you buy instead of gambling on an unlabeled pull. This item clears the free-shipping line on its own, and orders leave the Idaho warehouse the same or next business day.
Snooperette lights did their work at the dim end of oceanographic surveys and dive logs, letting someone topside see what mattered. This one is still waiting in its original wrap, ready to go back to work the moment your fixture needs it.
