i’ll update you tomorrow since i don’t have it between my hands now. it also may be a strange tube since the rack were i found it said “85W 150cm” so it may be a strange size but i just assumed it was a mislabeling but i didn’t have time to check whether it’s 180cm or really 150cm (in that warehouse multiple things are mislabeled, such as ballasts labeled as rheostats)

it’s not 1.80m it’s 1.5m 
what kind of tube is this?
here’s it lit on a 65w ballast

"but I ask that you all refrain from restricting commenting due to petty grievances or to limit discourse"

We've already seen legitimate comments being deleted by a certain moderator no less, who should know better and set a higher standard as an example.
This is just going to be abused by people holding petty grudges tbh.

This is a really bad feature and I will not be using it.
Hell, I have never ever, deleted anybodies comments of any of my photos, even Dor when he used to post complete rubbish, because that is his right to post it tbh!
Anybody can pot whatever they want on my photos and it will never be removed by myself and I will never block anybody!

Honestly, what is this site turning into? No wonder people are leaving in droves.

Hasn't this been created because someone does not like someone else's opinion or in-fact even that person commenting on their pics period? Yet you ask people do not block others for not liking their opinion? Bit confusing!

This is a bad idea, it’s going to end up getting abused to hell! Certain people are going to have a really long block list for the pettiest of things.  “Oh i dont like his nice comment, Block him”!!!!!

If someone doesn't like someone else, why not just  have a full block feature where you can make that member vanish for you but members can only block one person a month unless extreme circumstances. This block would apply on forums, gallery, pm and any other feature this site has.

However it is not a feature that i will be using, everyones comments and opinions are welcome on my pictures and posts as long as they are not nasty or rude.

last year got a 175 watt MV yard blaster and almost got a roadfocus small from them and they sold the crimefighters as NORMAL stock not surplus as I understand it

Previously you had the option to enable or disable comments on an album.  Now you'll have an additional field that applies when comments are enabled, a textbox for entering usernames to block.  For blocked users, adding comments to photos in the album will be disabled.  If a member is being a nuisance by consistently posting excessive comments or poor quality comments (e.g., off-topic, wildly inaccurate, or inflammatory), you may use this feature to prevent them from posting.

It's up to individual members to decide who they block and why they block them, but I ask that you all refrain from restricting commenting due to petty grievances or to limit discourse.  For example, if somebody posts contradictory opinions on your photos, blocking him or her because you don't agree is not a good reason.  For now we don't have specific rules for why you may or may not block a member.  Please use your best judgement.

There's a store called Princess Auto here that has a surplus stock section and they seem to get the most random things. I've seen stuff such as LED traffic signal modules, new LED cobraheads there and in the past they've even sold stuff like 175w MV GE Crimefighters, clamshells, gumballs, various other cobraheads.

Anyway I wonder if that's how most people with streetlights in their yard ended up with them, at least here.

 It WAS overactive but thanks to radioactive Iodine it's now underactive .  I'm on the same med . I was told to take it at least 3 hrs. apart from my other meds or food so I take it 1st thing and take my other meds at work at break time when I eat .

 Yeah I don't recommend getting old !!  Not much in the way of options though .    I can't wait to be able to retire ! 

 I'd guess . 

So it literally 'fell off the back of a lorry'... 

Under- or over-active thyroid..? I'm under-active and have to take Levothyroxine every day. Still wouldn't get up at that silly time though, well I did many moons ago when I was young and foolish..! Now I'm old and even more foolish..! There aren't many things to be said in favour of getting old, but retirement is definitely one of them
