Today, I was going to get just some ignitor and starters, found out that the Shopkeeper was well versed in lighting and got all of these. My first T10, aquarium lamp, BLB MV, 840 tube and more.

The 400w red MH is like maroon.

Reversing vehicle’s here are beginning to annoy me!  , first of all it started with commercial trucks with a reverse bleeper, fine, then the new ones sounded like a seagull being repeatedly stood on!, “haaark-haaark-haaark”! 🤣🤣🤣, now the new thing, (also being fitted to every delivery van it seems today), is some irritating posh British bloke, accompanied by a loud beep!, “BEEEEEP, Stand well clear, vehicle reversing……….BEEEEEP, Stand well clear, vehicle reversing….”!, I hate that! 

Some guy at work has it on his van, and I’m sure he puts it in reverse, then sits there on his phone just to annoy people before he get out of the space!

What I don't understand is the fact that rear foglamps aren't required in the US (not sure about Canada). They're mandatory here and the original owner of my car had to have one fitted.

To be honest, I do not see that much use for them. Yes, they may help to make the car visible for a bit longer distance, but already with regular tail light that is already far beyond the general visibility in a given fog, so it only makes "drivers" to feel like they can see further than they really can see and consequently drive insanely fast for the condition, smashing into something that does not have lights, like pedestrians and so on.
And where they are really counterproductive is at dark: There they just create a red wall blocking any remaining bits of visibility ahead of the car in front of you that has them on.

But what I do see as a problem is, the "daylight running lights" do not turn the tail lights with them. Consequence is, many drivers forget to turn the main headlights on (mainly in brightly lit cities, or generally because even just the DRL are providing quite sufficient front illumination for slower speeds) and so many cars then drive at night without any tail lights on.
And along the fact that headlights do not have any signal light on the dash whatsoever, it is becoming a problem in the rain - mainly with automatic headlights you have no idea if the main headlights did turn ON or did not. If the tail lights were on also with the DRL, neither of these problems would be problem at all, as if the visibility is good for the driver (that is for his personal judgement and exact conditions), for others it does not matter at all, whether the car has main headlights, or just DRL on at the front... And it would not require anything more complex nor sophisticated in the car automation...
The argument "It is to save power/gas/CO2 emission" is really a BS, with the tail lights consuming barely 2..3W with the LEDs (or even the 10..20W with older incandescents makes no difference at all)

The Irish have the best language!, I named my eldest daughter Siobhan, and she says nearly everyone new she meets usually asks her how to pronounce it!  , most get it wrong saying ‘Shivon’, but we say it as ‘Shuvorn’.
I’ve always loved Irish names  , I think the Irish have some of the most beautiful female names in the world!

Irish singer Enya’s full name is Eithne Pádraigín Ní Bhraonáin!, and Enya herself once said that the Irish pronunciation of Eithne, (that I first mistakenly pronounced as Eethnee), is actually said in Ireland as Enya! 

 AH , General Motors and their wonderful battery killer ideas!

Going out and about in public with no electronic devices on my person. (My watch is not battery powered.)

Thanks for your input, arcblue. Honestly, I could've just retrofitted this to incandescent or SBMV in the field. SMH lol.

Truth be told my car is angled up towards the rear windshield, seeing out there is bad and I don't have a backup camera. The reverse lights are thus mostly useless for me. Fortunately my year of back in parking at my high school has made me a master of using my mirrors and doing the old prop your arm behind the passenger seat and looking back trick.

Oddly enough, Europe also has manual reset starters made by Osram. They are known as the “Deos” starters. Additionally, some electronic fluorescent pulsestarters also do a decent job at protecting magnetic ballasts from failure by only attempting to start lamps with only one try.

This is an awesome movie (though it makes me sad) - thanks for sharing the link!
