Ever feel ashamed of having to many lights? « on: February 03, 2021, 01:00:21 PM » Author: Lightingguy1994
Sometimes I feel a breeze of shame when I think of my collection. Mostly because of how much I have now. Its mostly because I still live at home and I know when I move out , my lights alone are going to take several trips and it honestly makes me feel a little ashamed for that being necessary .I love the lights I have and will like to use most of them.

Is this normal or have any of you felt that way? I imagine I only feel this way because I'm vulnerable for as long as I don't have my own place.

I don't plan to downsize, though I have thought about it to the point where I know if I did, the 400w MV lamps and ballasts would go, some light fixtures that are nothing special and I only have one of, would go and I know I'm already going to donate those cases of 175w Pulse MH lamps to restore when it reopens

We're not ashamed by our collection at all.

The main problem we have now, is there isn't enough room for them all.!  :poof:
I have to play lamp box 'tetris' to get to some of the boxes of lamps.  :lol:
The only lampses we have multiples of are the ones that we need for our SOX fixtures.  :lps: :lps: :lps:

Oh I'm very familiar with the game of box tetris  :lol: I play it on expert mode with all my fixtures nicely packed together on shelves in the most efficient way possible.

Hello @ all,

the explanation is simple. There is never enough space for the lamps.
New lamps come when there is new space. New lamps also come when there is no new space- very simple ...
