I've always wondered what sandstorms are like, and have seen glimpses of how they are through some pretty intense videos of them on YouTube.
Down here we've got interesting weather as well... serious temperature ups and downs expected throughout the week... 71 degrees on Sunday,
severe weather threat for Sunday night, followed by snow showers on Monday with highs only in the 30's, and highs only the 20's on Tuesday.

See how many haze we have here now at Kiryat Ata. We have a sandstorm here in Israel, and in the south it is severe.

Thanks for all of the answers bud 😉

I already started writing some info about Polish streetlights on PowerPoint. And telling you, it won't be easy. I got like 15 manufacture (I think) to write up and a few are a lot to write. I'm just being precise about the info I write.

Right now goin to Bydgoszcz 😉

Thanks mate! It took me quite a lot of researching and reading…But I finally got there :bulbman:! I will now awnser your good questions!
I would say that Schréder and ACEC are the biggest Belgian brands in and Around Belgium. I could count L’Industrielle Boraine as being popular because it’s just a Subsidiary of B.B.T which was quite popular in France but I won’t.

Those Manufactures (except from L’Industrielle Boraine) are all 100% Belgian of Origin! And those 8 are all the known Belgian Manufactures but there could be more waiting to be discovered…

I havn’t seen anyone right an entire history of a country’s Street lighting before and it’s a cool title to be one of the first! I would be more than happy to see a Polish History! I’d be very interested to see it!

I agree! It’s nice to see someone putting effort into something for someone to read and it saves time for whomever reads it because that don’t have to go searching through endless websites!  :mv:  :lps:

Clear lamps are my favorite. I prefer Sylvania lamps but I'm happy with any clear lamp. :mv:

I’ve noticed lately, maybe in the last 6 months or so that any lamp that is NOT LED, for sale on the UK eBay has become expensive.

PL-S 5w, 7w, 9w and 11w lamps have shot up in price from around £2.50 a lamp to near £7.00 per lamp in some cases. Same with fluorescent tubes they have shot up to £20-£30 per T8 tube in some listings. Even starter switches they are almost £5 each now where as 10 years ago you could get one for £0.50p. This doesn’t seem to be down to greed, it’s more about making LED stuff cheaper to buy than fluorescent as for the price of one fluorescent tube you could get a whole LED fixture to replace it with, for less! so it’s forced upon us.

8w T5 tubes are one that I’ve noticed a massive price hike in as well as the PL-S

SOX LPS lamps too, looking at a minimum of £45 for a 35w and I’ve seen them as high as £179 a lamp!

 It’s the same for CFLs they’ve shot up in price too.

HPS SON lamps is one lamp that doesn’t seem to have changed much price wise in the last 10 years or so. They’re still virtually the same!

Shame that.  if you have it to hand and can bare to do this, can you grab me some photos of how it looks now  and text them to me?

You could chuck it back on eBay the way people buy stuff on there you could probably get your money back easily LOL. I’ve seen smashed lamps sell for crazy money!
