I was once with my sister and she noticed I always looked up at lights and one night when she walked me up the town she was like "Why do you keep looking up to streetlights? There you go again you looked up!" and I'm like "So what? I am looking at a streetlamp. The world isn't going to end!" LOL  ::) :o :D ;)

I always look up at the lights and my sister is always like what are you going to do if it falls on you and I tell her it won't fall on me
She's also constantly staring at my fluorescents

When I was younger, my parents used to say to me that my head & neck were going to be permanently bent back or I might trip and fall over something from looking up at the streetlights.

The last few days my Mom has asked me as soon as I walk in the door "what did you bring home now" Jace and a few others know what I'm talking about. ;D

Whole shed is full of vintage street lights. You have to step over them to get to anything else.

Well, with everyone else, always looking up. And when watching TV shows, I look for lights. A GE soft white package on Drake & Josh, an 8 foot strip light on The Monkees, etc. ;D

And metal halides lighting up Hogwarts ^_^

Look in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - the scene in the Defence against Dark Arts class after Lupin took the map from Snape (shortly after 1/2 of the film). The white light in the window is suddenly brigher - a cycling halide restrikes outside ?

"Earlier on it showed someone in the castle. Someone who i known to be dead"
<-- HERE -->
"Really who might that be"

Metal halides in Hogwarts! I didn't notice that one. I'll have to look for that the next time it's on TV. Oh, and during the opening theme of the first season of Three's Company, a TV show from the '70s, there is what appears to be an incandescent streetlight. Perhaps someone here can identify it.

When you go to any store the first place you look is in the lamps section of the store.
and you always have bulbs/lamps in your car
