Heh..! Tell me about it, I once had the power steering fail halfway around a roundabout in one of these   

Oh yes, I've chucked a large chunk, what was left of the year's supply, into the school swimming pool. 
That was impressive... The water spout hit the ceiling, and some tiles at the bottom of the pool cracked. 

Well they didn’t take the offer.

Today I went to a go kart racing area, turns out driving without power steering is very hard.

That's not completely unexpected, heh. The glass will burst because of the thermal shock. Then the sodium will condense because of the return to atmospheric pressure. Then the near boiling hot mist of sodium droplets will react with the water. BANG!

At work we sometimes throw a chunk of solid sodium into the canal outside our school. It's spectacular and a much sharper detonation than common firecrackers.

I know it’s a bit late, but thank you for your service as an admin here.

Something that Clive did.

If you are interested in learning about the history of Iwasaki’s lighting technology developments, here is a video that has a timeline encompassing Iwasaki’s technological advancements in lighting:

I also find it interesting to learn that Japan was an early adopter of LED light fixtures starting in the late 2000s or so.

If you don’t speak Japanese, I recommend using the google translate app to automatically translate the text into English or any other language that you speak.

Thanks - here is a photo.
I'm in South Hampshire, in the UK.

Photon knows what to do with these..! One time we were there he blew up an EOL 90W lamp where one of the electrodes had detached and was rattling around inside the arc tube. Not only did it go bang and catch fire but the ceramic lampholder was destroyed as well
