This one is easy... I want 6 footer High Output lamps, fixtures, and full power HO magnetic ballasts... but my ultimate of all time in terms
of want is definitely the VHO 215w lamps and fixtures... strip fixtures if there are such a thing, for those massive VHO magnetic ballasts.
Energy saver VHO T12 8 footer lamps as well.
The reason why I won't even think about ever obtaining VHO 215w fixtures and ballasts is simply because of the power consumption behind them,
and I refuse to collect lamps and fixtures that I won't use.

Probably a 400 watt GE Powr/Bracket with the extra large UFO refractor. But, I don’t know where I’d store it let alone use it if I never end up with a house.

I would like short length (40w and below) vintage coloured fluorescents, with old designer fixtures. In India we only had boring strip lights or battens.

And yep, some advanced LPS lamp, too, like figural cross-section linear one! Unfortunately, these are complete b&%$# to send, so no way for me, until I could bring one in person somewhat from UK or Europe :(

Filament LEDs. Both a blessing and a curse.

A L-M Unistyle 175 that's not 240V (and if I can, an OV-15 that I don't need a step-up transformer for), an LPS streetlight (shipping from Cali to PA is astronomically expensive, as I'd be classified as Zone 8, so Francis is not an option), a set of F96T12/D and /CW lamps that aren't EOL, and more induction lamps (something less consumer-grade, like an Icetron or the fixture FOR an Icetron, like a US Tech Lighting Jersey luminaire). Also, more mercury vapor yard lights / ballasts couldn't hurt...

The one type I would still like to get is an ancient arc lamp, especially one of those so-called "metallic flame" arc lamps, which used special metallic electrodes to produce a bluish-white light much like today's daylight fluorescents.

Now such lamps are DC-only, but even the traditional arc lamps made for AC were often designed for 133Hz operation instead of 60, something to be careful about!

A nice compromise would be a homemade contraption that runs well enough. I tried to build one years ago, but the lack of a good idea for a base structure made the project rather overwhelming for the teen that I still was back then. 31 year-old-me however has saved the mechanism from an old CD drive to be used as the core of the lamp! All I need now is a device that can function as a dashpot LOL.

There are a few.

- 10w T12 halophosphate fluorescent, those really thick short ones.
- Those super long (80w?) T12 tubes.
- The earliest color corrected MV lamps with the cadmium phosphor
- The early medium pressure MV lamps, Siemens Sieray or MAT-V? I forgot the name.
- SON Comfort HPS with better color rendering (already have an SDW-T)
- Mercury free SON, to get the 'clean' spectrum of a high pressure sodium lamp and see how much blue and green the tiny bit of Hg adds to a standard SON.
- "The" Cooper-Hewitt lamp. They scare me to death with their giant bulb of boiling mercury, but are also beautiful pieces of engineering.

If you're in Europe, and have any of these for sale, let me know :)
