The set screw style terminals aren't that common here but I've seen the push in terminals on some electronic ballasts and LED drivers. Those generally are designed to only accept #18 solid core wire, typically used in fluorescent fixtures.

On the HID side, some ballasts used Faston quick connects instead of wires crimped to the ballast wire. The oil filled capacitors generally always used Faston quick connects and some dry capacitors are available with them as well. 

The lack of terminals was probably a cost savings measure, and also part of the general philosophy for luminaire maintenance here. When the ballasts were in production, they were not designed to be serviced and replaced as the entire "black box" when they were faulty. It made things easier back then but now it also means things like faulty capacitors aren't easy to replace.

The Wago 221 connectors are great for prototypes or for setups that you plan to swap components in frequently. I use the inline version at the lampholders on some of the fluorescent fixtures to make ballast swaps easier.

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if it were sold in Canada as well, same electrical system for the most part. I don't think this would fly in 240v areas, especially with the shock hazard when you unplug them.

I have been looking on eBay and marketplace off and on. Found a NOS LOA Litlite fixture (also a piece of junk and I love it.) Sadly, at least here, restores quit selling both fluorescent and incandescent lights, and only sell LED lights; kind of defeats the whole purpose IMO, but whatever.

I think I remember these being sold in Canada around that time as well.

Anyway, it'll be a bit time consuming but I'd keep tabs on your local CL/FB Marketplace for fluorescent and shop lights and if you're lucky one might pop up. Thrift stores/Restore are another good option as well but you'll probably have to go numerous times before you spot one.

I suppose I should mention that I am in the US (North Carolina) and of course would be able to pay for shipping as well as the light itself. Though I seriously doubt something this dodgy made it to market anywhere else.

I am looking for an absolute piece of crap here. Specifically, a Cooper Lighting Metalux 9240 shop light. They were made around 2006 or so, had no reflector, one piece plastic end caps which liked to snap off, and what was basically a lights of america type ballast housed in a standard(ish) can. I will attempt to attach a picture of a picture I found online, which just outlines the shape of it; I don't have an actual picture of the light itself.

NOTE: there was an earlier (or later, I am not sure) version of the same model number which is not the same thing, it has a reflector and proper tombstones. I am not looking for that version, however they use a similar ballast, so I would be interested in that.

I would also be interested in the ballast out of one of these which is a WuXi Heng Feng HFC-240-120-TS.

I know most likely nobody out there would even bother saving something like this, but if someone has one, I am interested.

That would be neat. And for the types, that would be the standard octagonal pole streetlight/traffic light poles. (Basically, any octagonal traffic light pole with the standard base or octagonal streetlight pole with the transformer base)

I found 2 in stock at CP lighting UK:

They can ship to customers pretty much anywhere in the world.

Good evening fellow lighting nerds! So today my large batch of 2 foot electrical cabinet lights arrived. 11 out of 13 are now here, for some reason two are in a seperate box which has not made it yet. But I hope it will make it here soon. My plan for these lamps is to have some fun, I will install power cords on each one. each one also has a electrical socket on them , which means I can easily daisy chain them So this made me want to put them up along the ceiling and put some coloured bulbs into them for fun! But coloured bulbs, are very hard to come by. At least if I want more than just the standard colours, which of course, I do! Preferably, I would like to get my hands on T12 coloured bulbs, because I absolutely loooooooove the looks of those! T8 will do just fine aswell, I am happy with anything I can get basically. I am also looking for some colour 930 2 foot tubes, for very high quality worklight. That seems to be a colour that is very hard to come by too, I can get my hands on 940 relatively easily but 930 seems to be haaaard to get.

So yeah, I would love to buy some mixed colours, and 930 tubes. I am located in sweden, so I am willing to pay a bit extra for shipping if it means I can get some wonderful bulbs!

Send me a message if you are interested, I'll do my best to reply as soon as I can. I work a lot right now, so I cannot guarantee super fast response times.

Best wishes

Im located in manhattan NY, want me to post photos of some poles? let me know what types

I have kind of mostly lost interest in collecting lighting, but I still have a reasonably sized collection of lamps that I don’t know what to do with GLS (mostly comprising of incandescent and CFL), linear fluorescent (mostly F40T12s), and some HID too.
Most of them will need to go, but I will still probably keep some of my rare/interesting-to-me lamps as curiosities.
(I also will stay active in the community too)
I want my lamps to go to good homes, like other lighting collectors who are just getting started collecting. Does anyone know how I should go about distributing them?
