Had some time off last week, so I went and did a ReStore run. I'm noticing that they will only take and resell resi-grade lighting stuff. No HID, fluorescent, or anything that contains Hg. In the end, I found nothing worth buying...guess it's time to hang it up when it comes to them. It was that way at all locations except one (visited six locations)...this seems to be coordinated.
Anyone else noticed this in their area?

I'm finding stuff that I donated to the ReStores/Second Use stores around the Seattle area showing up in Parrot175's videos...lamps and luminaires. 
Funny how when I tried to sell the stuff, no one wanted it!

@ icefoglights, but will looking at LG tell you where a particular lamp is.? 

If I were buying, I'd get the one from the third listing...GTE era quality.

Ah, cynical is what you become when you get old and decrepit, you'll get there 

Some things we like to have local copies of; the "cloud" is just that, nebulous and hazy..!

Don't be so cynical, Ria.   
Also, I've been archiving this site for some time now via the Wayback Machine.

I visited a part of India previously ruled by British. There were lots of old lanterns, remnants of that period.

It could go down one day, then where would we be..?

What we should do with our collection, is catalogue it on a database, but there are so many crates and boxes to go through it's a daunting task... 

LG is my database

On 120v, there's more of a chance of a GFI circuit breaker registering line loss as a leakage to ground and tripping if a load as at the end of a long run.  That's where GFCI outlets are nice, because they can be placed close to the load and less likely to trip that way.

Today's project was getting ready for spring.  Took my truck to the car wash, took the snow tires off and put on its brand-new summer tires, changed the oil and replaced the windshield wiper blades.  Also Washed mom's car, took the snow tires off and put her summer tires on.
