Not much today, just remade some connections on one of our lamp display boards.

Lowe's was clearing out their stock of GE F40T12BLB lamps for $1.98 each.
I bought the last case of them.

Yesterday we re-made the display board for our little 10W SOX lamp, aka Tiny Tim

  I AM NOT !

My lighting project for today was installing my new mount for my Wide-lite. The new mount is MUCH STURDIER than the previous one plus, it's now centered with the roof line (the old pole was about 1 foot off-center). I also transferred the RAB Area Light JR from it's previous location on the wall to it's new location which is mounted directly to the 2" galvanized pipe of the new mount. Once I finish re-installing the siding and finish all the wiring, I'll post some photos .

I AM NOT !

Don't blame me, it was Sammi's idea, she names everything  

Today I'm going to run two Philips CDO-TT 250W/830 and a CDM-T 70W/830 which I found in the recycling bin

Replaced a few burnt out bulbs in my parents pinball machine.

Finished cutting down a repainting a 4ft shop light reflector to fit a 3ft strip light, and mounted said light over my workbench.

Got a case of 1985 Philips 70w BT-25 HPS lamps from eBay today.

Yesterday, I replaced the rear marker lights in my Subaru with Sylvania 2825 incandescents. These bulbs are made in Italy and are brighter versions of the 194 incandescents, so now my tail lights have a nice sparkle at night.

Yesterday we tested our 10W SOX lamp on a more suitable ballast, seems to be ok 

Currently running this US spec 100W MV lamp on an 80W ballast to see how it compares with the 70W HPS ballast we ran it on last time. Seems ok, lamp current and voltage aren't that far off 

Run the lamp off 2 50W chokes in parallel then I and V will be spot on.

Retrofitted some certain pendant fixtures at my girlfriends house... from LED to Halogen... for better light effects...
