I heard from a street light lineman that the Chinese EYE mercury lamps go dim after 2-3 years, which is unfortunate. There are two strip malls with mercury downlights near me with Japanese EYE lamps and many were already there when I moved here in 2007, still going strong.

Today I found a pl-s 11w blb box from the same brand, and same warning!
This time they remembered the bracket!

Today, I got the rest of the lamps from the shop. My first circlines !!!

I've experienced this too, only a few comments for over a dozen pictures, not even on the interesting ones!

Could it be a mall? definitely looks like a mall

The arm setup makes me think this was taken at a former Kmart, but the building tells me otherwise. Maybe a former Ames department store?

Eric, what's your eBay username, if you don't mind me asking? I'd love to buy some of your "excess" lamps... 

I was wondering if you bought that one...no, I'm not the seller.

Do you want clear or phosphored?

A few minutes after posting this I found a coated 400w Westinghouse Lifeguard for a reasonable price. I am still open to offers though.

Another possibility is that Iwasaki also stopped making the arc tubes and just buys in the complete lamp from another supplier.

I would expect that because EYE probably make their own stuff to quite high standards considering stories from other members about how high quality they are.

True as well
