Odd residential installations « on: July 06, 2016, 12:55:43 PM » Author: Lumex120
Have you ever seen a MH shoebox in someone's backyard? Have you ever seen a 400w MH flood on someone's house? Ever seen highbays in the living room? I have seen all of these but the highbays in a living room. I always wonder how they got there. Have you ever seen an unusual residential HID installation?

Quote from: mdcastle on July 06, 2016, 01:03:34 PM The 400 watt shoebox would be about right for a backyard ice rink. I've seen some shoeboxes and floods for this purpose. It didn't look like there would have been an ice rink there. It was just grass. The light also worked and came on at night. I think it might have been 175w though.

I have a buddy who has a couple of LED cobraheads setup like floodlights to light his back yard.

I have actually installed a 400w MH flood on a house.

I like my lamps thick, my ballasts heavy, and my fixtures tough.

I saw that in your gallery.  My only concern is that when it goes EOL the next owners will replace it or mislamp it. If I owned it, I would have put a 400w merc in it because that should never have issues.

It wasn't  important enough to me to go out and get a mercury lamp.

Quote from: sol on July 10, 2016, 01:10:45 PM Also the odd house will have a MH flood rented from the power company. There are only about 2 or 3 in a very large area, though. They are most likely 250W as that is the smallest wattage offered by the power company. Why rent outdoor light fixtures when you can have your very own?
