80W MH, Osram. Used in my fishtank for about 5 years. Still have it, even though a piece of glass broke off and lay inside the outer envelope ( reason for replacement, even though still worked well, and has a blast shield, replacement did not) and I used it to scrape most of the phosphor coating off from the inside........ Kept it and replacement when got rid of fishes, in a box somewhere,  Ballast is being used in free standing lamp in lounge

*thinking back to 1992*
My first HID lamp was either a clear Philips 175 watt mercury vapor that came with an Electripak security light, or it was a GE Lucalox 35 watt coated high pressure sodium lamp that came with a GE tallpack.  I still have the Philips, and some parts of the Electripak light, but the GE and it's bulb where sold with an old house back in 2000.

Mine was a 250W Philips Self Ballasted Mercury Flood R40. Don't have it anymore

My first HID lamp is a Caster 175W clear merc. It went out after about 10 hrs. 

175 watt Philips mercury vapor from 1996

175W Philips Mercury from 1984. (Don't have anymore)

80's GE 175 watt MV, lost in the big crash! 

mine was also a Regent 175 Watt Clear lamp!

Mine was a G.E. 175 Watt Mercury DX lamp that I bought at a True Value hardware store to put into a yardblaster that I found at the dump and then hung from a tree in my backyard so I could throw a party when my mother was away.  This was in the summer of 1995.  The lamp and the fixture got thrown away when the house was sold in 1997.

Mine would be a 35 watt Philips D2R automotive xenon-metal halide lamp which came out of a 2001 Lexus GS300. I bought a Toyota ballast from eBay a couple years ago and the bulb came with it.

TESLA RVL-250W
It was not really a collection item, but more a toy - but it cycled, so i trashed it. It originated from a jukyard, when the utility company got a Sodium Disease. Few days later i got there some RVLX-250 and SHP-210 (MV 250W sodium retrofit lamp). The SHP cycled as well, allthese are resting somewhere in my "junkboxes"...

Sodium disease, I like that

cycling MV? never heard of that.

My only bulb is the Tesla RVLX-400W, which I don't even have a socket and a proper ballast for... It was new, and yes it's a toy too I plan to blast it out of my window and see how it compares to the super-dim CFL's used in the streetlights

My first lamp is gone after it fell. But my second lamp is a Sylvania F15T8 made in 1996 It is in my gallery!

I bet I can outshine all of you

But seriously.  Back in 1980, I submitted an idea to General Electric an idea for a new wrapper design for their mercury lamps.  About a few weeks later, I received a package via UPS and there were three GE HID and one Tungsten-Halogen lamp.  The lamps were:

LU70: 70 watt Lucalox HPS lamp
MV175/U: 175 watt standard Multi Vapor lamp
MV400BU/I: 400 watt I-Line Multi-Vapor position specific lamp
2000 watt tungsten halogen lamp (forgot the ANSI code)

That Saturday, I received a packet in the mail containing a plethora of trade brochures with all kinds of information on GE mercury, metal halide and HPS lamps.

My first HID lamp was a 175 watt clear Philips Merc and a 175 watt DX GE merc. I both aqired these at a thrift store for $1 dollar a piece!
