Why I like LEDs on top of other lighting tech?
LEDs = Upgrade 95% of the applications. (That is if you avoid eBay's LEDs).

LED brainwash? No, people uses them cuz they work well for them.

A 1997 Philips High Pressure Sodium......pre-alto (not really an Alto) also this lamp was in a streetlight working perfectly from 1997 to end of 2005 which is really long life and today's HPS dont last that long....they now only last like 2 years!!!! Here's the pic of the lamp

Quote from: DJ DP on January 31, 2007, 10:51:35 AM I received a Philips 70w SON-T lamp on January 2005 from a friendly lighting engineer. I don't know what i have done with it but it should be laying about somewhere. Check under your mattress ;-) Quote from: prawnman88 on February 20, 2007, 11:02:35 AM a coated mh 400 watt i pulled that was bad from a ge-m400 What kind of GE M-400? Older type or the 2 door type? How did you open it....was it a push button open fixture, or a latch open type or a pull bar type? Are you sure it was not a 400 watt MV? Quote from: Mr. Big on January 30, 2007, 04:37:49 PM Mine was a 1kw MH lamp by Sylvania sadly I don't have it anymore What  happened to it? KER-BOOM? And where's the frogs comment?

My first HID lamp was a Philips 175w clear mercury, my first MH was a bunch of Sylvania made 100w CEW MH lamps and my first HPS was a bunch of 80s ED shaped Sylvania and Philips 70w HPS lamps with mogul bases!
