I usually do not dream about lamps and lighting but recently I dreamt that I was perplex when found a road in our city with old fluorescent street lights which I missed out to re-lamp them. Almost all of the lanterns were dead already or on their last legs. I was ashamed that I forgot to maintain the lighting on a whole road.

I had a dream where the AJ Ferguson Zodiac was a wall mounted floodlight fixture instead of a streetlight batten

I had yet another dream about lights. This one was about street lights.

I dreamed that I was traveling along a road with railroad tracks in the middle and the variety of different lights was unbelievable. There was countless SOX fixtures and a bunch of interior lights such as MV high bays and various incandescent pendants all being used as street lights.

Some time ago, I dreamt that someone hit one of the ITT 247s in our neighborhood, and it was 310W PROBE START METAL HALIDE!

A few days ago, I dreamt that I was walking down some city streets late at night. Most of the lights were your standard fare (LED, HPS, etc.), but they were all on a series system. When I rounded a corner, I saw a GE Form 406S, fully lit up lighting the street below with Cool White Powergroove tubes. It was also connected to the same series system. When I was just about to take a photo of it, I woke up. Definitely one of the more vivid dreams I’ve had. I thought it was really happening until I woke up.

I very rarely dream about lighting but I did last night and it was that I drove along a road in our city which was still lit by our fluorescent street lights and most of them were looking neglected with having failed lamps with only glowing cathodes because me as the responsible engineer for maintenance postponed the group lamp replacement repeatedly.

Last night, I dreamt that I saw and picked up sphere shaped bulb out of the basket on the shelf and the etch saying 'Mercury Vapor/Vacuum' bulb but nothing inside the envelope.  After I picked up the bulb and it became a test tube shaped envelope with two long wires in it with a ball of metal object near at the top.  As I tipped the tube I have struck some kind of Mercury Vapor discharge into feeble glow, then it fades away.  I tipped the tube even more, the discharge glow some more and then fades away.  I tipped the tube some more, the wide area at the lower part of the tube filled up completely with the discharge as you see low pressure Mercury Vapor glows.  Then it fades away.  All of these activities was connected to nothing, probably thinking it was static electricity conducting the discharge ???

That was it.

Well, pulling one of my tubular 400W MH lamps out of its paper box in the dark gives a very noticeable discharge in the burner! Not in a dream. What is funny, the lamp has a broken feedwire inside, and this is pretty the only way to get it lighted :)

I confess having dreams about just getting some really rare and much wanted lamp, which slipped out of my hand right just before a wake up. Time for therapy, I know, LOL.
