Sure. Sending the OV-15 down yonder is no problem. Rather than using eBay, I feel like a private-party sale (where I ship thru PirateShip) would be better. I sent an AEL 113 to Dez ( @LightBulbFun ) this way.

Trilux do it! The Lumega! I think Philips should do it and bring back the SGS!

As said before, I'd be interested in that 240v OV15, assuming that you'd be willing to arrange international shipping, which I think eBay would be best for. The OV25 is just over 1m long, and that seems to make shipping cost spike up substantially, at least for international shipping.

Anyone? Surely someone must recognise some of these...

Do you have a photo of those gaash LED lanterns? I'm curious.

Gaash used to have a couple LED streetlights with actual proper optics, that look nice and perform well other than the light spectrum (big body, reflector of same type as for HID lamp, with Philips LED module bolted in the precise point in the reflector) but i think they were discontinued in favor of "greener and smarter designs"

Local wholesalers here stock Chinese things of varying levels of junkiness for around $100..$150/each. Some of them might prove to last for a while but it will take years to find out the ones that unintentionally came out better...

Trying to imagine how much electricity they are trying to save with this conversion. 25000 150W HPS lamps burning 8 hours each night take about $2M a year (And i imagine there are many lamps of different wattages there). But to give the same light LEDs will have to draw about the same power as well

So far i haven't seen any LED conversion that would perform better than just retrofitting to 1 or 2 steps lower power HPS lamps in the same luminaires

Prospective list of luminaires I am parting with:

- OV-15/25 (worse condition variants, both 240v-only) [OV-25 available, OV-15 reserved for @Baked bagel 11 ]
- USED 100w OVZ [reserved for @HomeBrewLamps )
- USED Regent NightHawk (NH-2402/Handyman Electric) [available]
- BROKEN HOUSING M250A2 Powr/Door (salvaging all parts, scrapping body)
- Both of my LSi Canopy Lights (400w MH) [Reserved for @NeXe Lights , and Avery ( @Burrito )]
- 2/4 AEL 247 "Revolution" Post-tops in 100/150w HPS [available, 240V only]
- Possibly my 100w Icetron PSE&G Streetlight (humongous thing)
- McGraw Edison Unidor 400 in piss-poor shape (might keep it as its the only one of its kind in my collection)
- Highbays/misc. floodlights
- Spaulding Sebring in 400w MV (can gut ballast to make shipping more manageable)
- 4/6 Metal Halide 100w Can lights from auditorium retrofit (currently wired for 277V; using Venture HPF PSMH ballasts)

Will update as time goes on (ie, fixtures are handed off to their new owners, or scrapped).

Scrapping is my absolute last resort.

I wonder if you have any duplicate US made clear 250W H37 mercury vapor lamps you want to get rid of.

A couple days ago, looked through & re-organized some of my Christmas lights.

Today, repaired 2 sets of lights (had to remove from the small tree they were in .. now I'll have to put 'em back & re-decorate it)

Replaced my outdoor Christmas light timer.  The old one was a mechanical 24-hour timer that can be set in 15-minute increments.  It fits in a standard single gang wall box, which makes everything really tiny.  After a year of power outages and blinks, the time is always off, and it's pretty difficult to set accurately.  I ended up replacing it with a 24-hour 2-program digital timer.  Much easier to set, and actually what it's set for.
