Update:

I have finally gotten around to actually installing the basic lighting installation. I did not have 8AWG wire on hand so I doubled up 10AWG wire instead. It seems at. 14V the 10AWG byitself is sufficient but at 11-12V the extra capacity helps. Currently the lamps are being powered through a large continuos duty solenoid and a 60 amp fuse. However I am currently creating the parts order for the control board previously made in this thread. I am hoping to complete that within the next few months. The reason everything is going so slowly is due to money constraints and weather.

Attached is a photo of the 250 watt lamps in action. In total there is ~700 Watts of frontwards facing light. The high beams have 100 watt Philips RallyVision lamps in them aswell. Truely bringing the daylight to the night....

Economically, yes. Historically, they're pretty important because it was the first non-thermal light source that got into widespread use in people's houses that wasn't utility light.

In that case, would pin based CFL lamps have a separate category like the linear tubes and non-linear fluorescent lamps like circlines and u bends?

So far, I have been aware that a few US States such as California, Vermont, Hawaii, Oregon, Minnesota, and a few others have already enacted general lighting fluorescent bans. Interestingly, here in California, despite the fluorescent ban, I have still seen fluorescent ballasts and starters still being sold in hardware stores.

Compress the pictures and try to post them.

I like that the lens is flat on the bottom in a way where it would be flat with the road if the arm is angled correctly.

This seems to contradict our Dear Leader's love for old and inefficient technologies, as he specifically attempted to reverse bans on incandescent lamps and high-flow bathroom fixtures.

Also need to cut some of the plastic lens covers down to size to replace a bunch of broken ones.  Doing that this week. 

I'm primarily handling a big project upgrading access control to many church buildings.  We are going from a key fob system to a bluetooth via cell phone program so that key fobs are no longer needed, it will be via a cell phone app.  But I am still finding lighting things to take care of and to make a list of for me to handle after the access control systems is upgraded

For example:
I have one building in downtown Denver that has an underground parking garage.  We have 27 fixtures in here that at one time ran 175W Metal Halide, but we have since converted (removed ballast) to run LED screw in bulbs  They are starting to fail.  They are on 24 hours a day as we sometimes get homeless folks trying to sneak in to sleep and drug up in that area. 

ALso some more cove strip lighting i need to take care of, currently F40T12 4100K cool white.  Going to keep this one T12 for now as I still have plenty of T12 lamps
