Quote from: Mandolin Girl on October 30, 2020, 02:40:39 PM I don't know who won it, but it went for a lot more than we were willing to pay for a lamp in that condition.!!  I am just worried that someone might trash the SLI/H lamp and convert the fixture to LED.

Seems like people who often get vintage light fixtures who are not lighting enthusiasts often want to convert them to LED and throw away the old bulb even if it works.

Does anybody have fears other than myself where they worry that the lamp will get trashed and the fixture converted to LED?

Quote from: lights*plus on October 29, 2020, 09:07:50 PM Exactly why would a collector want to restore this if the ballast is toast, never mind the lamp? Just to clarify, I'd rather invest in a clean, unrusted fluorescent bulkhead fixture, modify it by adding an SLI/H ballast, add the proper sockets and get a known working lamp. In the description there's a reference to another similar fixture (likely sold) which makes me believe the one still up on auction is a mess. So beware! I actually have the seller’s other fixture in my collection and the lamp does work.

All I can say is that I didn’t bid on it, but I definitely would have if it was in better condition. I just don’t have the time or money to restore a fixture like that.

I’ve always been interested in all kinds of lighting, mainly incandescent and HID, and especially all kinds of sodium lamps (HPS/LPS). I’ll tolerate LED but I’m not a fan of it.
I’m not proud to say that my city has Devolved to LED.

I think the situation that I described above happened with a late 1930s early 1940s halfpiper fluorescent fixture that I see on eBay. I believe the seller who is not that much of a lighting enthusiast bought the fixture on eBay or won it off eBay and possibly trashed the old preheat ballasts and old fluorescent lamps that might have come with it just to convert it to LED. I get really upset when I read about people who trash vintage lamps and ballasts from old fixtures for the sole purpose of converting the fixture to LED.  Here is the listing for that fixture: https://www.ebay.com/itm/292452306295 I am just worried that the same fate might happen with the SLI/H fixture.
