We lit up our 400W Lucalox HPS lamp today.  8)
It's a lot brighter than our 400W clear MV lamp...  :poof:
It was difficult for me to do any work on the computer with the light coming off it.  :mrg:

Yeah I have a 400w HPS streetlight and it gets really bright with it on. I can't wait until I find a cheap 1000w HPS ballast so I can light that up too.

We'd love to get some bubble lamps like these, we have some UK made ones, but they're not made any more, sadly  :(

We were looking through our 'haul' for something else and found this little beauty, so it's our 'Lamp of the Day'  :lps:

Heh, I actually have a piece of glass from a welding mask that I use for when I want to get a close up look at the arc without blinding myself from the light. If I had a welder, I would probably get the whole outfit.  ;D

Picked up a $5 Lithonia halogen flood from Restore. Interesting it came with both a 300w and 500w lamp. Anyway my plan is it hook it up to a outboard ballast and see if I can run my double ended 150w CMH lamps in it.
