This was over the past few days
I finished a big cleanup of my lighting collection and revived 2 trash-picked Rymer Lighting F36T8 fixtures and hung them in my room so I had more light due to 2 of the 4 LED downlights being  :eoled:. I also found and ordered some new HPM 382 sockets for my second AJ Ferguson Zodiac so I can have 2 fully functional Zodiacs.

Well the home LED conversion resumed at my dads house, we replaced 2 60w Equivalent 2700K GE LEDs with 75w Equivalent 5000K GE bulbs because these were requested for the ceiling fans. Also the back porch light was changed out too for a Lithonia floodlight.

Today I bought a brand new 50 watt HPS flood light from my local ReStore for only $10. It was made in July 1998 and came in it's original box with the OEM Philips 50 watt HPS lamp  :hps:
The fixture is branded under the NCI Products brand but from what I could tell by the markings on the ignitor it was probably made by Regent. But hey, it was made in the USA  :bulbman:

This was over the last few days but I like to combine multiple days into one post to avoid cluttering up the topic. Here's what I did over the past week.
I revived a 50w MV bulb that I thought was dead
Converted my B2224 back to 80w MV with a new ballast I got for free
Picked up some more items for my collection
And lastly, I cleaned up my work area - again

I got a GE Halarc of my own after like 7 years of being absolutely fascinated by them.

 Well , the feathers were normal sized so I'd say it was more of a condo for several birds !

I was lucky at school, English was my best subject. I sucked at maths, though  :mrg:

My pet hate is the aberrant apostrophe, where people either put them in where they aren't needed, or don't put them in where they should. A prime example is where the meaning is completely altered depending on whether there is an apostrophe present or not, as with  its  or it's  - the former is a possessive meaning 'belonging to it', whereas the latter is a contraction for 'it is'.

It's often called the Greengrocer's Apostrophe here, where they advertise apple's or potato's  :poof: :curse:

Were you guys treated like the students in one of Pink Floyd’s music videos?

I have no idea what you mean by that, I was never a fan of Pink Floyd and I haven't seen any of their videos. Although if you're referring to us, we're girls not guys, ok..?   ;)  :mrg:
