Nothing like the beautiful cool white light of a coated Mercury Vapor lamp and the soothing hum of it's magnetic ballast.

Are mercury lamps that hard to come by in the US now? You can still get all sizes here for the time being!

No, mercury lamps are still common here, you can buy them in most hardware and home improvement stores. The clear BT25 shaped mercury lamp discussed here is pretty rare nowadays as the last one in this shape was made in '84.
