Sorry . I'm not trying to offend anyone . I'm just saying that yes , they're still available here but next to no one buys them anymore other than folks like us . Linear fluorescent , PL , CFL aren't nearly as popular as they were a decade ago . Last new large scale fluorescent install I saw around here was close to 10 yrs ago .  I LOVE mercury vapor , the last new mass install I saw was in the late 80's - early 90's . The 2008 ban didn't really kill much more than spot replacements  The incandescent ban happened earlier in the year and again removed lots of dusty stock from the shelves .  New HID installs are pretty much unheard of anymore other than for using up overstock and the occasional spot replacement . There hasn't been a new HID install here in a few years now .

 All these "bans" are doing is making it harder for us lighting nuts to find stuff to collect so if you want it , buy it while you can as it's only gonna get harder to find and WAY more expensive $$$  .

I was riding in the back of my grandmothers Ford Explorer late at night and turned the dome light on in the rear, then my parents told me the exact same thing.

Yes that's right. Local pickup in Saskatoon. The larger lights I cannot ship unless you'd be willing to pay the fees for shipping and risk damage. These are huge and heavy. (Shipping fees as in likely around $150-$200 plus a ton of effort to pack).

As for cost, I'd like to get back what I paid for them plus the cost of the lamps and other accessories. Prices below... I'd be open to all offers too.
If they don't sell I'd probably get around $25 in aluminum per fixture plus the sale of individual parts / glass.

B2228: $120 complete with NEW 1kW lamp and wiring. These are really uncommon.
M400: $60 (No ballast)
Uni400: $60 (No ballast)
S5-250: $40
Landmark NEMA: $20
The explosion proof fixture is junk and free.

The Holophane Fixture and CLM DD Fixture are not available at the moment.

All prices in CAD.

Lol yeah my parents told me that as a kid. That police will pull you over if you have the map or dome lights on while driving. Now I know it's not true. Not sure where the belief may have come from.

I believe these will ship from Saskatoon.

They are building here too, it’s mostly single family homes and some duplex.

All of the single family homes are at least $300k though so not really affordable. Especially for a single person. They also do not seem to be selling very well. But yeah there’s been a ton of new construction since 2020.

A lot of it’s in HOA neighborhoods though too which I would never want to be a part of…

Lucky! The vast majority of new construction in my area are multi family homes, apartment buildings and stores. I’m trying to find an apartment or a house that is cheap to rent, which is impossible even though my state’s cost of living is 2% lower than the national average.

Went to the dentist to have two wisdom teeth pulled out. Joy!

The entire upper jaw is getting kinda sore, but it has yet to become 1/10th of the suffering of my average migraines. 

Did anyone else used to think it was illegal  to drive a vehicle with the map or dome light turned on? I used to think as a kid that you weren’t supposed to have them on while driving, or you’d get a ticket. I’m not sure where this belief came from?

close by me in Naperville people are buying 2-3 neighboring homes for their lot value. they tear down nice homes from the 1960s to build build mansions. edit: I think it is really wasteful and I do not like it at all. mansions look ugly and out of place in these neighborhoods too.

Usually, I have associated lamps with the “GE-Hitachi” branding as lamps intended for the Japanese market.

Judging by the information provided, it seems likely that it could be one of those Japanese 1 meter (39 inch) FL35SS tubes.

Shown below are the specifications for one of these tubes:

It seems like they are rated for 34W operation. If you do show us a photo, I can help you with finding more information. In that case, I recommend posting in the “gallery” since most lamp photos belong there.
