Most probably due to inefficiency. They are phasing out the old technology, but still offer bulbs until the ballast fails and then the user needs to upgrade. Or a part of the dark sky initiative? I have to say I am for the ban on these lamps. I love them, but most people use them...

Brilliant

Me.. Lasers : serious business.

Here's mine not much, I lost a lot from Hurricane Katrina. I am currently re-building my cache.

My second choice is the Tesla Roadster My # 1 --- who would not want this beauty, including time controls!!

Sorry to hear of your loss. I have had many cats, and have seen many go. I miss them all. Are you going to get another?

Sweet coils, esp your pole pig. Most people ask me what I'm doing when I'm looking up utility poles and drooling. If I was your neighbor and heard the spark gaps firing, I would immediately come over with beer!

Wow, 2200 lumens from a LED. Very impressive.

I did not mean to derail your thread. I have 3 minmags, 1 leatherman Monarch 500 (~100 lumens) current EDC. And 1 4sevens quark turbo (~206 Lumens) AA^2 on its way.

^^ That is one beautiful photon emitter!! The Sun in your hand. A few of my arc tubes

Its actually called a MOGUL screw, yeah its big. The largest metal-halide lamp comes in 1500W with upwards of 150,000 Lumen's. Its bright and hot! I used to manage a lighting warehouse, And have collected several arc tubes from these lamps.

It's no problem, I'm happy to help out
