Writing it writing is one thing. Second thing is if even anyone is even interested.

Like for an example, Polish streetlighting only has like 5 members interested in this looking at the day today. And only 2 polish websites were made from what I had seen. At the other side when I look at English streetlighting, There are many members around. I at least seen more than 3 websites made that are related to UK Lighting.

On the other side. Here is what I see. English, and American lights are just popular on this site. It's the French side, Belgium side, Netherland side, German, Poland, Czech, and MANY MORE, there isn't much interest, only a few people sit in it. I'm surprised that at least 2 other members replied to it, though I wonder how many people are actually interested in this post, just hadn't commented because they did not want to, or just are guests...

Other else, I'm just grateful that at least one member, or a few in past, thought about do something like this. Like I'm impressed Tbh. I kind of wanted to do it with Polish side, but I feel like there is no need at the moment.

@PabTheSpanish oh, thanks! I liked writing!

@RRK, @James, @Medved?

@James

Does Sylvania sell these lamps online, or in the US? How could I get ahold of some of them? Preferably A19, 100W.

Never even heard of that, do you know the physical length of the tube? I assume it is in between F14T8 and F10T8. If I had specs for the F10T8 I could estimate its ratings as being in between the 14 and the 10, but I can't find them anywhere. Of course being a T8 it's current is probably in the ~250mA range, assuming it isn't compatible with some sort of T12 12W version in which case it would probably be ~350mA. Voltage would likely be in the range of 40V or lower.

Do you have a F12T8 tube? If so I would love to see a picture

Edit: After doing some research, these F12T8 lamps are actually only 12.5" long making it even shorter than the 13.5" F10T8. This would make me think that the current is higher and the voltage is lower, but the gas fill is probably not the same so that is not guaranteed. So yeah I have no idea.

If anyone could post the electrical specs for an F12T8, that would be great!

When I first joined, there were also a lot of younger members around my age, including myself, who, back then, were extremely active, but not anymore. Members such as @HPS_250, @CreeRSW207, @High Intensity, @Fluorescent05, @Binarix128, and @alexd120. @HPS_250's uploads specifically were what gave me the opportunity to identify really obscure and interesting fixtures.

It also seems like the Canadian members are slowly disappearing. We've had members like @The Cooper OVX, @lite_lover, @Model25FanForever, and @lights*plus who have mostly disappeared. Even @joseph_125  doesn't even post much anymore.

Back before I joined, @HPS_250 's gallery was the first one I ever perused in detail. I was also intrigued by his AEL 115/315 warmup animation. About the Canadian members on here... yeah, even @joseph_125 has been posting less. Though some do occasionally pop in, post a masterpiece, and log back off for another 6 months. It's very cyclical, but also very fair... life goes on, people move on, nothing is forever.

@LightsoftheWest — it's great to see you post and identify fixtures still. It's nice going down the road and looking at [X manufacturer] [Y model] and "categorizing" each in my head. Without your constant IDs for reference, I would have far less of a clue of the lights all around me... as @Baked bagel 11 said, I certainly miss your detailed fixture uploads, but I do understand and respect the constraints surrounding your decision.

I suppose I’m to new to feel what someone leaving the site feels like…
