Sending you a PM shortly.

Alright, no worries. I might even be able to do it sooner, the M-250A that I'm buying from Francis in Ca it taking a while, so let me know when it'd work best for you.

How much would you want for the OV-15 (not inclusive of shipping and packing materials)?

Mainly because LED and HID lanterns have different requirements, an LED only needs to be able to fit a rectangular driver, terminal block, photocell and a surge protector in the gear chamber, as well as a flat LED pannel, with a heatsink on top. This is all very thin, and uses the minimum amount of material for the best performance, whereas a HID lantern body would have lots of wasted space and wouldn't get proper heatskinking while also using more materials, creating a more costly and less reliable lantern.

With that said, Philips did do an LED version of the Selenium and currently make a modified LED version of the Iridium.

Sure. Sending the OV-15 down yonder is no problem. Rather than using eBay, I feel like a private-party sale (where I ship thru PirateShip) would be better. I sent an AEL 113 to Dez ( @LightBulbFun ) this way.

Trilux do it! The Lumega! I think Philips should do it and bring back the SGS!

As said before, I'd be interested in that 240v OV15, assuming that you'd be willing to arrange international shipping, which I think eBay would be best for. The OV25 is just over 1m long, and that seems to make shipping cost spike up substantially, at least for international shipping.

Anyone? Surely someone must recognise some of these...

Do you have a photo of those gaash LED lanterns? I'm curious.

Gaash used to have a couple LED streetlights with actual proper optics, that look nice and perform well other than the light spectrum (big body, reflector of same type as for HID lamp, with Philips LED module bolted in the precise point in the reflector) but i think they were discontinued in favor of "greener and smarter designs"

Local wholesalers here stock Chinese things of varying levels of junkiness for around $100..$150/each. Some of them might prove to last for a while but it will take years to find out the ones that unintentionally came out better...

Trying to imagine how much electricity they are trying to save with this conversion. 25000 150W HPS lamps burning 8 hours each night take about $2M a year (And i imagine there are many lamps of different wattages there). But to give the same light LEDs will have to draw about the same power as well

So far i haven't seen any LED conversion that would perform better than just retrofitting to 1 or 2 steps lower power HPS lamps in the same luminaires
