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?

I was just walking from the shops and back with my mum, and I was 3 quarters of the way home and I felt the ground shake  I live in the countryside… there aren’t many big vans or lorries around and the nearest quarry is near Steyning, several miles away, and I’m not sure if it’s as active as it used to be. My only guess is an earthquake, but I did feel a bit light headed after so, maybe it was just lack of Something or other.

Bit nervous…

Pink metal halide lamps often have tin halides to filter the indium line making the lamp redder.
Why orange metal halide lamps like the BLV ones don't have tin to filter the blue and green mercury lines so that the color would be oranger?

Enjoy the HPS lamps, neon signs, the incidental mercury, and a couple hundred incandescents used to light a bridge in a fancy way. Must've been special long life bulbs  you'd be swapping lamps on the daily.
The monument for peace at Dam Square was (and still is, probably - the other decorative lanterns were metal halide at least at the beginning of this year) lit by metal halide.

Pretty impressive camera. Most of Amsterdam's roads were lit with high pressure sodium lamps, but despite the bad color rendering of HPS lamps, the video still looks great.
In reality it looks more amber, of course. The videographer really did some work to make it look as normal as possible.

My old van still has the original , working AM/FM 8-Track stereo .

I sure do. My car has a CD and a cassette player which both work perfectly.

 I have TONS of purchased music CDs as well as cassettes . I even have some 8-Tracks !! I don't mess with downloading music and the one burned CD my brother made for me years ago is degrading badly ! I also have TONS of 45's and a decent amount of LP records .

 Today I went on a roadtrip to pick up a Infranor 1000w MH flood light I found on Marketplace . The drive was roughly 2 hrs. each way . Photos soon . This thing is absolutely HUGE !!! It's the biggest floodlight I own ! 

 I'd say the seller found a lamp in the sleeve and figured like any other person who knows nothing about lights  that it was new . If you know nothing about a HID lamp , how are you gonna know if it's bad or not ?

Alright so that sorts out starting characteristics, but does anyone know about CWA compatibility issues with any of these lamps?
