Hi, what you see in the video are all the fixtures I have. I also have 2 uncomplete fixtures for spare parts, but I don't count them. About 2 hours ago I built another fixture, being the most compact HID light I ever built. It runs a 50W mercury lamp, driven by a 40W fluorescent ballast, like the other 50W MV fixture you see in the video. The new lamp I built it's even smaller of the one in the video, I fitted both the ballast and capacitor in another ceiling incandescent fixutre I had laying around... It was tricky but worked :-) Soon I'll post detailed photos of all my custom built fixtures with their description

Nice video man! I like all the sounds they make at startup.   ;D

The future of street lighting is Induction, not nasty HPS lights or cr@ppy LED lights!
Preheat CFL's should make a comeback!

Thanks :)
Well electronic ballasts are more efficient than electromagnetic ones... But I miss the pleasant humming sound only the electromagnetic does ;D

Great vid! That's cool to see all of the different HID lamps starting at the same time.
