What are the rarest lamps or fixtures that you regret not buying or have missed out on? For me, it’s a NOS Westinghouse Lifeguard H38HT-100 that I missed out on from eBay.

I’ve always been interested in all kinds of lighting, mainly incandescent and HID, and especially all kinds of sodium lamps (HPS/LPS). I’ll tolerate LED but I’m not a fan of it.
I’m not proud to say that my city has Devolved to LED.

American Electric Model 13-000 on eBay

It was gone shortly before I got my Series 115.

Both of those fixtures are rare. I’ve been hoping to find an OV-20 as well, or pretty much any Westinghouse fixture.

Just curious, is the sold listing for that American Electric 13-000 still up? I don’t think I’ve ever seen one before.

One rare lamp that I regret not buying is the recent GE H400A33-1/T16 lamp with the bonusline style packaging.

Probably the few times a 400w medium pressure MV went up on eBay for a price that I could afford and ended up not getting. As for Restore stuff, the GTE Sylvania 400w T16 clear mercury lamp for $20 comes to mind.

That and the rest of the 175w and 250w 1960s clear GE Bonusline MVs from this lot that I left at the Restore. Of course they were gone the next time I went D'oh. At least I picked up one of each wattage.

The other was probably the one and only time I saw a 4ft louvered fixture at the Restore I decided not to get it. Been looking for another once since.
