How many lamps of each type do you have in your collection? « on: February 28, 2021, 09:47:13 PM » Author: HPS_250
I have been wondering about this recently, because I plan to soon reorganize my lighting collection, so I will probably count and categorize the lamps when I do. How many lamps of each type do other members have? For example, how many MV lamps or HPS lamps? Estimates are fine, I’m just interested.

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.

Thanks for the replies! I’m going to count or at least estimate my lamp categories tomorrow, so I’ll post when I’m finished.

Quote from: fluorescent lover 40 on February 28, 2021, 10:08:56 PM probably twenty or so MH lamps probably ten or so MV lamps probably twenty or so HPS lamps one SOX lamp probably 200+ incandescent lamps probably 60+ fluorescent lamps probably thirty or so CFL lamps probably around fifteen or so LED lamps I started collecting in 2016. Gotten lots of stuff recently. Sounds like a good amount of all lamps! I started collecting in late 2019, so I don’t have nearly as many incandescent lamps.

Well, a non-collector friend once described my HID and street light bulb collections clearly a matter of critical mass. He added... Now I know where all of the old streetlight bulbs go...

I am not sure what I have in my collection. I will have to organise it at some point but there is not much there anyway but a heap of fittings however.

Hello, I started making an excel type database. By now I have around 70 lamps in it. I hope to put all my lamps in it. if I should estimate: ~500 incandescent ~60 carbon and squirrel  cage filament ~200 halogen ~130 fluo tube ~50 CFL ~50 LED ~200 christmas light string and figural ~8 SOX ~30 SON ~70 MH ~40HPM ~200 optical lamps ~20 short arc mercury and Xenon ~40 UV and Ir sources ~100 discrete led devices ~80 lamps not fitting these classifications I suspect in my collection around 1500-1800 individual (different) lamps. Now when I see that, god I have a lots! best regards, Alex
