Welcome to LG Wireman

I'm in nearby South Carolina and collect old stock incandescents, halogens, and a few fluorescents. I am also interested in any type of HID lighting too. Looking forward to seeing your posts!

I messaged the seller about this also and they replied with "Thank You for the information on the lamp being a used Metal Halide, I will add a disclaimer to the listing so people can make an informed purchase" perhaps that surplus dealer has more then one person with access to the eBay account and items for-sale as the reply I got back did not seem rude to me.

I have a lamp for a vehicle I no longer have. It is a 3157 Wedge Red 12v LED with a focal point top. Total of 3 pcs. I installed one in a 09 Nissan Sentra we had and it worked very well, was waiting for the rest of the incandescent ones to burn out.

Anyone wants them let me know.

Sellers like that will only learn one way.... by getting negative feedback for false advertising and a forced refund in an ebay world where buyers can easily get refunded by force

Yeah but he could have been nicer though lol. When I messaged him, he replied in all caps “I WOULD NOT BUY IT THEN THEY ARE OLD”

A message about someone informing the seller about the lamp condition and type is now added.

Ah they must have recently added that. Good that they edited their listing. Bad that they're selling used lamps for more than what I can get them for new lol.

You may consider using LPS? I realize it may be a lot of work but a SOX18 should fit and produces no UV/Blue wavelengths to attract bugs

I don't use any night light in my room when sleeping, light in the room bothers me. Sometimes if I stay up later, I have one of those swiveling LED night lights that I plug in. It has a built in photocell, so have to unplug it when I'm done.
