You and me both! I have my B5 lit up for the night but I always have a non electric option at my bedside. Tonight it's the Pilot. Oh and remember, I can't be held responsible for any lantern purchases. Alright, I may have told Sammi about this one but it still stands!

Yesterday I was on a bus for half an hour with a Philips MA90 remote gear with two lamps on my lap

@ AgentHalogen_87 - I bet that raised an eyebrow or two, did you have dead legs when it was time to get off the bus..?

@AgentHalogen_87 - Nice find! Probably raised a eyebrow or two bringing that on the bus. I once brought a pair of Revere Urban-Lites back on the train. Now if I know I'm going to be bringing lights back, I just opt to drive instead.

No stiff legs, and I don't know about eyebrows as I was on the first front facing row And when it comes to finding... when you work in street light maintenance you come across one or two Oh and to answer Ria's immediate question, I'm not touching LEDs on a regular basis. I work on keeping the good old stuff running. (Relamping, fault finding, etc.) I only touch LED lanterns if the entire column needs to be replaced, as in the case of this MA90

I gave a 400w MV Revere 2600 cobra a quick inspection and rough cleaning as it will be used for a trade with another collector . Nothing special , I just blew out the dead bugs with compressed air , gave the refractor a good scrub with Super Clean and water and a scrub brush , replaced the crusty bolts on the slipfitter with some new hardware I got from work and verified the ballast was indeed 480v only .

All lighting except LED rules!

This wasn't today but a couple of weeks ago I got one of those 100 watt metal halide lights that goes in the ground and is used as a uplight (That's what I can only assume) at my local ReStore for $25 and it is NOS. It is quite bright, I put it on a shelf and occasionally use it as an uplight. Yesterday I had to secure down my 100 watt HPS NEMA head on my house better because there were quite the high winds and it almost fell off my house.

I think HPS, MV, and MH rule! Ban LED instead!
