Does anyone know if there was a certain area where lamps started having polarized plugs? I’m guessing mid to late 1980s possibly?

And when did lamps started having wattage warning labels on them?

We haven’t had any severe weather here in Florida. In fact, I can’t remember the last time we had thunderstorm!

I did notice on Weather Channel some tornadoes in MS, AL and going into TN. And I notice that area seems common to have tornadoes, and frequently see severe weather around Huntsville AL area.

Well...
It looks like that forecast has verified tonight.
Multiple tornadoes have occurred down in MS :o
A couple looked pretty bad on radar, and from what I've heard sounds like they may have been.

Yeah, it would be. .lol.
And I doubt very much they'd bother with some random person selling a few lamps out of their basement.
But it would stop stores (including thrift stores) from selling.
Would also likely stop companies from shipping here.

(obviously stuff like eBay where its individuals selling you really can't control so easily either...)

I'll be starting work on cleaning up the B2224's I got about a week ago. Been very busy salvaging stuff from the house next to mine which is getting demolished so haven't had time to work on them.

Will also do my final check over the house as it's doomsday will likely be next week and my parents are getting quite picky about me going over despite the fact I've been inside abandoned houses and buildings that were in far worse shape compared to the house I'm salvaging stuff from.

Someone else had gotten to the hardwood floor boards and salvaged about 75% of them. This wasn't a surprise when you consider how expensive hardwood is these days. They busted out several windows so they didn't have to maneuver the boards through the tight areas and out the front door which is actually on the side of the house. These people knew what they were doing and had prior experience with salvaging floorboards. They knew what was worth saving and what wasn't. 

I'm imagining the surprise that the demolition crew will get when they walk inside and discover that over half the floor is gone.

Today I tested the electrical data of my previously purchased OSRAM QT-DIM dimming ballast at 100% brightness.

That seems literally impossible to enforce.

That’s when you get a real cobrahead, like a GE M-400 with a sag lens.
