As for 'time is ticking' the real answer is that no one else seriously cares whatever you do in this world....

One thing about GoPro's is that they are ultra-wideangle with infinite depth of field. While it is good for action shots (motorcycle, snowboard, cars etc) it is sub-optimal for people shots. Used at close range, it will give cheap 'mobile phone' perspective footage. Some better camera with longer focal length and limited depth of field is necessary. A mid-range interchangeable lens digital camera is considered good usually.

Definitely want this elusive BLV/Ushio MH lamp. I think I got most of MH colors possible already (and even more , but never this one.

Note this is not like much more widespread orange version of BLV color lamps, which is just sodium+mercury and looks like watered down HPS with MH burner.

I'm glad to hear that they've just moved them, I'll have a look again next time and see what's on offer at mine.

Had me worried the "day" has come 


On a side note I noticed some of the LED filament lamps had a new filament design that's thicker than the ones I've most commonly seen, I wonder what the benifits are to that.

have 2 restores in my city and one is FAR better in getting commercial stuff in and the other is mostly
the one with commercial stuff is a far better score and right now is working through a cashe of MH bulbs from 100 watt to 1000 watt and I got some S55 HPS sylvania BT bulbs
last sept I took a roundtrip out to Vancouver and hit up some restores on my route
the poor towns were FAR WORSE then the richer towns 

I once tried 2, 125 watt mercury lamps on a 250 watt ballast!, that didn’t work either! 

went into a brand new showhome and had to leave quickly as the LED were flickering at 30 HZ and I could not stand being in the place
every light in the place was on and flickering

Home Depots in Winnipeg moved the "non GLS" lamps to the commercial / light fitting isle and are NOT in the GLS bulb section anymore
HID are all but GONE but floro and LED "drop in" floro are all over there and still well represented

caretaker yard lights are common at "proper" lighting supply shops in Canada and is the "barn light" replacement for the ubiquities "NIMA HEAD" styled HID yard blasters that was sold at every hardware store

I know twin circline FLorescent fixtures came in 22 - 33 watt twin tube but other then that one application every 2 tube one ballast fixtures are designed to run the SAME lamps in both positions
