I have one of these. I have had it for at least 40 years, so I assume there aren't many about now! Very unusual almost neckless bulb. I think mine has been hammered to E.O.L. Nice to see the packet!

Manufactured articles should be made to be used, not made to be sold!

Your mission - should you choose to except it - is to save unique and rare HID lighting before it's all scrapped.

At the ReStore, I saw 5 GTE era 250w Metalarcs, 2 or 3 GTE era 1000w Metalarcs, and others. I can get the 250w lamps, but can't get the 1000w lamps because I'm running out of space for now (have a small house).

I'll save any vintage lamp... dead or alive!

What about up in the roof....1Kw lamps don't weigh much. Or "skitch" another collector onto them... I know "Silverliner" Dave is only about 80Km away!

The roof I can't use... my parents won't let me... Yes I can pass them on to him or rlshieldjr (Rick) who lives closer to me.

That's a great idea...they are starting to get rare now, so us collectors have to work together to prevent the "plonkers" getting them and using them. I have three BT-56's here...bloody big balloons...my house is small too, but these's nobody to stop me stuffing them up in the roof! In reality they will be going to the shipping container soon!

No problem. Me or Rlsheildjr can pick them up.

May all the great lighting technologies have their place in history.
