									| Thanks for the links. Unfortunately the total cost after shipping for both is more than what I'm willing to pay for a lamp at the moment but I'll keep them in mind. |  |

									| Before I received my 60w SLI/H fixture and lamp, it had been on my bucket list for a while. As of now, it is considered the crown jewel of my lighting collection due to its rarity. |  |

									| Here in California there's still quite a few SOX lights still in service so I might still have a chance to get one. Or I could get one from member mdcastle but I still haven't decided what to do about a SOX fixture yet. |  |
