In our previous existence we had a thread for Lamp of the Day, we are planning to resurrect it, but will add a link to a photo of the lamp in a dedicated gallery. Look out for the first one later today

Today's lamp is our MA/V lamp, which required a small repair. Thanks to Andy for pointing us in the right direction to do it. Here it is at full brightness.

Today, our lamp is this GE 120V 160W self-ballasted mercury lamp. We don't have a picture of it lit at the moment, but it's just warming up now, so we'll post one soon

We took a break over the weekend posting, so to start the week is a 35W HPS lamp, that certainly was well travelled before first ignition.! Here it is fully warmed up.
