I posted a while ago and felt I should've introduced myself a little first before barging into a thread, but since it's a little late for that, well I guess I'll do that now...

My name is Randall, and I'm a lighting enthusiast (really?), with interest mainly in general lighting, being a bit more knowledgable about lamps than fixtures. I recently developed an interest in street/outdoor lighting, but I have a limited knowledge of it (as of now). I mostly fiddle around with different light sources, and love using light sources out of context (e.g. HPS indoors). I don't currently have a collection of lamps or streetlights, or well, I don't have one in the sense that many of you have, but that'll last about as long as one of those Chinese "Westinghouse" lamps. 

OK well, I'll call that...that.

hey welcome to the Lighting-Gallery......letting ya know you will learn a LOT from this page!!! I joined this page in January 2006....and I did not have a lot of knowledge about streetlights or ballasts or experiments....I just always was fascianted by streetlights and lightbulbs for LIFE........I did not even have collection of streetlights.......well guess what...I have like 15 streetlights in my collection!!!!!!! just in about a year!..........hey don't go too far.......I am already feeling a bit crowded with lights........but there are some members here who have a LOT more than I do.........

Check out my pictures.....here's a picture you may like to see....my first streetlight and what I made myself!

I added a traffic light on the pole too....yes the light is powered...but I currently have a different streetlight on this pole now.......This is what it currently looks like...but without all the holiday stuff LOL.

Enjoy the site!

Hi and welcome. I have been a member here since late July 2006 (I think) and I think I haven't contributed until August. I live in the UK, and because I live in the UK, there are a lot of LPS\SOX lighting here with a few mercury examples. I am a trainee lighting engineer (streetlighting). I think I am the youngest here, being nearly 17 years old.

There is another thread about this here

Yes you have been a member since July 27th 2006...around that time this site was under a big time update....before that time...this site did not even have a forum!!!!

also there are alot of nice people on here

Oh yeah nice people here!....Don't forget some goofy people....for those goofy people...don't go too far! 

Welcome aboard! I noticed that you like to discuss about the spectral wavelengths of the different lamps you measured through a spectroscope. I like the different wavelengths! Ever tried a low pressure sodium lamp? They get only ONE line through the spectroscope!
