Old NEMA in front of abandoned house along FL-40 near Silver Springs, FL.

13950 FL-40

Are you familiar with that type of light? (Yard blaster)

I'm a little confused...

Are you aware of some of those lights? Defo the worst style of north american HID lantern. I'll try and find some pics of them falling apart.

A yard blaster is a Res grade area light for the North American market, many of which are horrid quality. Very different to a street light, much worse than a NEMA head too, some of which are good quality.

I made a  post to Micheal on off topic

I was wondering, in 2026, how rare are completely LED free buildings?

The only building that I can think of that has absolutely no LEDs, and is quite nostalgic of the 2010s, is the science and math building at my school (built in 2009) which is lit completely with 4x2 troffers (3 lamp) and several 2 and 1 lamp wraparounds. They have been consistently relamping the hallways with fluorescent so I don't think they're going to retrofit any time soon.

In fact I was able to pick some CFLs close to $1. But the comparison is not fair as electronics for CFLs is somewhat more complicated than LED supplies. For linear tubes, some still available are $1 new with warranty at retail, ~$2 remaining triphosphor stocks. Available T8 LED substitutions are generally 3-5 times more expensive.

I've never been able to buy €1 CFLs like i'm able to buy €1 LED lamps.

As said by @RCM442, Mr. X goes to deleted members, who seem to still have their galleries up, not exactly sure how that works.

I’m a bit late to the party on this one, I saw a guest on this board so I thought…..”why not?”

It would be a lovely modern apartment in central Liège, Belgium on Outremeuse.

It would have a lovely balcony with a Schréder MC2 next to it.

In the living room it would have a couch and a mini fridge filled with Dr Pepper and Reece’s Pieces (the mini fridge is bigger on the inside). I would have a large flat screen TV with state of the art speakers. Overlooking my couch there would be an ACEC RAM reading light with SOX.

I would have a kitchen where I can make Cheese and ham panini, Rocky Roads, Sushi etc. etc. so I don’t cut myself, I would have an ETAP B1 over looking the chopping board

My bedroom would have a cold temperature when I do to bed and a Warm temperature when I get up in the morning. I would have lovely Arthos Technics G-ZED mood lighting installed Vertically on each side of my king sized bed

I would have a studio in where I keep all my street lights (even ones I don’t have in real life) with a drum kit, severs, keyboards a huge PC with 3 screens so I can play Star Wars battlefront and go on Lighting gallery at the same time! I would also have another mini fridge, this time containing Dr Pepper, M&M’s  and Lavender ice cream yum yum yum!

In my Bathroom I would have a super strong door lock a toilet, a rainfall shower, a hot tub and a golden sink.

And then the Apartment block would have an underground car park for people who live there only where I would keep my Black Citroën DS and My many other French classics!
