They sit a bit high inside them though!, oddly enough, I never tried 50 watt mercury in them?

Collect vintage incandescent and fluorescent fixtures. Also like HID lighting and streetlights.

Sylvania B2224's are nostalgic to me because there used to be thousands upon thousands of them in Australia and whenever we went over to a friend's house for dinner, I always loved to see them lit up. I'd do anything to get one for my collection

Fluro starter pings combined with a 50hz ballast hum and blinking tubes is music to my ears.

Those vandal-resistant PL canopy/wall lights seen on the outside of bath-houses in campgrounds and those jelly jar wall sconces, especially PL-S, make me feel nostalgic.

My earliest memories of staying at a caravan/trailer park sparked my interest in vertical fluorescent lights like these https://www.google.com.au/maps/@-37.9569862,146.4048921,3a,60y,308.98h,95.35t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sVzkJZUUuBraQhiZQCfop-Q!2e0!7i3328!8i1664 I'm planning on building my own lights in this style because of how much I like them. I call them "Stick Lights" because of their shape but if anyone knows the proper term for lights like these, please let me know.
