Quote from: fluorescent lover 40 on October 12, 2020, 08:18:18 PM Just bought a AEL 115 200w HPS cobrahead today. Happy to have a 200w HPS light for the collection. I have actually gotten several 200w HPS ballasts from roadkilled cobrahead lanterns. Plus I also got 2 roadkilled acorn post top lanterns that run 200w HPS lamps.

Created some simple sequences to run my Halloween lights, and fired them up There's one set that for some reason wasn't working. Its just too cold to go outside & try to figure out why (not to mention the roof is covered with snow & ice, so it really ain't safe to go up there...)

Today, I finally installed a 50w PSMH ballast in my 60w SLI/H fixture and it resulted in a blink happy startup. See here: https://youtu.be/uJsjtq3XT0E

Just obtained four used T12 tubes from a best friend and her husband, and could obtain more soon as well. Unfortunately one tube is cracked, and another tube is EOL. That EOL tube should still have vacuum though, and a lot of that filament from the bad end seems to have snapped off its support holders. Potential EOL show on the way...
