Ohh It’s on my to-do list, someday.

Yeah..! You need a proper lampholder though.

Yeah I need to get that first, it’s on my list too.

Like I said, PM me. I've got loads of them.

12/19/21 : I went on a 150 mile road trip to buy a Unistyle 400 cobra head from Facebook Marketplace. On the way home , I stopped at 3 different antique malls and got some photos of some really interesting and rare lighting items including a antique chandelier with 5 GE Mazda globe lamps in it and even a Revere Cat-Eye flood sans ballast housing .

We took delivery of 2 candle shaped fireglow lampses. 

Piccies to follow.

And here they are. 

Lit our big Iwasaki EYE 1000W MH lamp, not sure if I should post any pictures, most of them were just a whiteout   

Fixed 3 sets of non-working mini lights. (there is a 4th set, but it has too many dead bulbs...so might just get thrown into my 'pile of junk lights')

The power went out tonight, and I noticed 2 of my fluorescents that have emergency ballasts no longer work, so looks like I have a light-related project for another day.

Drove by John Wayne Airport in Santa Ana, CA last night in the rain. The airport terminal is still fully lit by HPS, and the ramps going to and from the passenger drop off area are lined with HPS. Once you go onto the 55 Freeway, you’ll find early examples of LED fixtures, such as early BetaLEDs and early GE Evolves, however they were dim and plagued with wiring problems.

Replaced an emergency ballast in a F96 striplight. Pain in the a-double-s to do. .lol.
Have a F40 that needs one done too. Don't feel like messing with it right now.

Received a 150W S55 HPS ballast from lights*plus so we lit our Iwasaki EYE S55 lamp. Took a bit of doing, it didn't want to strike at first, but we eventually traced it to a duff connection in the lampholder 

It's a lovely light though, Iwasaki always did make excellent quality lamps. Photos to follow 

Got bored the other night so I lit up my 2008 GE M-400A, because I can.

I purchased a NOS Sylvania LU200/ECO off eBay. I only had one HPS lamp of that wattage but I needed one more so I have lamps for both my M-400A and M-250A2. The lamp has the silver metallic coating around the base which I prefer on my bulbs.
 

Took a look at my NOS Hubbell Microliter I got a few months ago and fired it up with the lamp it came with.

Yesterday we took down our 80W MV Gamma 6 (aka 'Gary') and switched the ballast over to a 50W HPS one. Today we'll be reinstating him on his pole in the living room
