Lit up some 65w T12's, and some 36w T8's. 

I have received the westinghouse lifeguard! and it is in one piece, I've lit it up and all that, will be sure to post pics soon... got other stuff I did today.. processing images and posting to Facebook and here.. so will be a bit probably... I've saved a nice portable 400W HPS ballast from another junkyard... It has a toasted ballast in it... but I'm probably going to convert it to metal halide... ALso got a bunch of other lamp partz.... GOod day... also discovered three more abandoned structures.... nothing much lighting related of interest but I just have a good sized list of buildings to mess around in...


That lifeguard is brighter than a brand new sylvania chinese which I also have... Not sure if thats quality or perception.... I will be sure to get it up in the security light, I'm just going to wait for a day when I can come home from school and not have them be homee, So i can avoid questions, cause they'd be likely to say no just because they don't understand. and I done feel like explaining myself either.

Got the bulb up there earlier than expected.

had one of the electrical phase lines go out to one of my church buildings, it was flickering/arcing out in the street box and causing all kinds of havoc inside the building.  Blew out a HVAC blower motor, and also 1 circuit of fluorescent lighting fixtures in the gym.  None of the breakers tripped.

lol sounds like chaos.

1. I unfortunately installed 15 LED streetlight replacing a 150W HPS

But I sneaked 2 fixtures hopefully they won't notice But I got good money out of it

2. Relating to the first one a bit one guy did not like his LED yard light so I changed it to HPS

At home I have a 2xF96 light that's got one of those emergency/backup ballasts (lights 1 of the lamps)... the thing has been buzzing, part time (randomly for parts of days, sometimes would go for a week being quiet) for months now. The past few days its gotten worse (allot more & louder - think like a very annoying loud old fluorescent ballast, but ofcourse the light is off). I finally had enough and disconnected the damn thing .lol. now there's a fixture with no lamps & a missing channel cover (where it is you can't see it unless you look for it, so) its gonna stay that way til I feel like dealing with it...

Over the weekend, I transferred my permanent collection of incandescent light bulbs to a larger box, so that I will have room for a 4-pack of 55 watt GE Miser's I have on the way in the mail this week.  I'll keep my general use incandescents in smaller and easy to access boxes, and I might end up sorting them by brand, wattage, etc.

Found some neat stuff... will post in gallery later.. will need help identifying things...

not today but back on Saturday.  I picked me up some stuff at my Home Depot clearance section

I replaced eol F40T12 in my home office. New one is also Narva 640 as was the previous one. Captured some new-lamp-snaking.

Yes, it's our lamp of the day, here it is lit

Today at a church building I took down 3 1984 vintage single lamp fixtures (F40T12 that were converted to F32T8 6 or 7 years ago) and replaced them with 2 F32T8 Lithonia fixtures.  The lens/difusers are no longer made for the single lamp fixtures and 2 of them were broken.  Going to keep the old fixtures and re-ballast with single F40T12 again and install them somewhere, maybe in a closet at one of the church buildings.  I have a lot of the 1 tube ballasts.

I have some goodies coming up in the gallery... Right now I am too tired to load up GIMP and combine images so I'm not gonna post them up yet... Tomorrow might be a no go too depending on how much of my English essay I must finish... But... Just know... I have some cool stuff I want to share (least I think they're cool) ... I might need some help Identifying things aswell...
