Mercury vapor lamps are now RARE in the USA OVERNIGHT « on: April 14, 2026, 07:47:35 PM » Author: WorldwideHIDCollectorUSA
It seems to me that over the past several months, mercury vapor lamps that were once common throughout the USA are suddenly becoming rare and virtually unobtainium virtually overnight within the past few months especially since I have seen that the US eBay has been rapidly taking down mercury vapor lamp listings overnight.

I wonder what might be the best way to obtain hard to find North American market mercury vapor lamps going forward via websites other than eBay or facebook marketplace.

Gotta keep pointing people towards forums like this, to not be dependent on big anonymous conglomerates like ebay, google and facebook, who can change their rules on a whim, or are big enough to be scrutinized by customs in a way that a tiny forum isn't.
