Where to find mercury vapor fixtures? « on: September 25, 2026, 09:05:07 AM » Author: lightbulbhpscfl
I can't seem to find any on eBay, my local ReStore has no HIDs, and nothing is helping online. Where do you find them?

I've found that searching bulb codes (like HR175DX39 for a General Electric deluxe white 175 watt MV lamp) shows replacement bulbs. As for mercury luminaires, searching brands up can yield results that are interesting. Try "GE luminaire" or GE Street Light" or similar terms.

Agreed on both accounts. Probe-start MH fixtures are pretty easy to find and will run MV just as well.

I’ve gotten a few from eBay, but like Joseph suggested, I usually have to use a lot of creative search terms to find them. Usually they weren’t just listed as mercury vapor or streetlight.

Collect vintage incandescent and fluorescent fixtures. Also like HID lighting and streetlights.
