If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it
HID Fixtures should stay HID, but I think LED is fine too.
Any new photos are taken with a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ35!
Local power is 120/240VAC 60Hz, TV is NTSC 480i 59.94, DTV is ATSC 1.0 and simulcast ATSC 3.0.

Quote from: RadiantMV on July 31, 2023, 09:59:22 AM North American /C lamps are just as rare as the European HPLs I thought that they would be more common. I guess North American ones would be better suited to the task because I wouldn't have to import them from halfway across the world and find control gear to run them on.

An important fact to know about foreign mercury vapor lamps in general is that almost all 250w and 400w mercury vapor lamps are electrically interchangeable with each other across the same wattage no matter where they are marketed to.
