Yup, I still use CDs. In addition to that, I have made a point of getting every variant of Blu-ray, DVD and CD writable discs.

We use Blu-Ray XL for archival purposes. It's 128GB/disc, but you have to write and read it at a painful 2x. They say these discs are supposed to last for 50 years.

All of our vehicles have a CD player, which we use from time to time. I mostly listen to the radio while I'm driving though. If I want to listen to my own music,
I burn a CD-RW before leaving.

It’s started shaking again lately…… Luckily it hasn’t hit directly, but I really wish it would just stop already……

Mostly wanting to try and get one of those Sylvania Suburban street light fixtures. I find them rather unique.

The Rarest lantern that I’ve seen is likely the ELSA HNG https://the-lights-of-belgium.odoo.com/web/image/4475-e0290472/ELSA01-page-001.webp or the ELSA Elsodia https://the-lights-of-belgium.odoo.com/web/image/4878-316eeb3b/E.L.S.A._4.jpg

Oh right! Cool!

Cheap Generic Chinese LED fixtures sold under Polish brands , that's for sure. LUG Urbino / Urbano fixtures are quite mid, but mostly I've seen them function correctly.

Except the H4, all pretty much classify as High Mast.

IDK

Nothin' here in Rugby. Maybe just a slight move from the Plates.

I forgot to post this, but just bought a GE Ecolux Cool White F20T12 a couple days ago. *Might* be purchasing a GE Halophosphate 3500k F20T12, but more
than likely may skip out on that purchase. There's a good chance I may use that Ecolux and one of my F20T12's from Philips, for my light tables instead...
and then I'll use my Sylvania GTE and the other F20T12 as replacements. Maybe. lol
Really interested to see how that GTE performs with the cold temp Trigger Start ballast though.
Today I did an inspection on all of my living room F30T12's... checked all the ends for any additional end blackening. All ends have a slight bit of
fair-weather end blackening, but I've noticed that one of my Sylvania Supersavers has a slight bit of "spot" end blackening developing... very normal
of Sylvania lamps to do this after a good amount of use has been put into them. One of my Sylvania F30T12's in my loft, is also doing this as well,
on the etch side. At this point though both situations are very slight... not dense.
My lone Sylvania Cool White F15T12 also has a very slight bit of end blackening occurring as well. I still have yet to post that lamp on Lighting Gallery.

Aight so, I was scrolling through @trojmiejski’s files and I was thinking about the Polish Highmasts, I like them a lot. Than I thought, isn’t the Schréder RX in H, X, Y, U or Star formation basically a Highmast? A Belgian Highmast? What do you guys think?
