I am also interested in having a GEC Z9420 lantern in my collection.

Bumping this as there have been a few changes since the last update in July. We're getting closer to completing the wish list, we are now looking for: A 60W linear SLI/H sodium lamp (plus correct ballast) The correct ballast for our GEC 200W SLI/H lamp An MAT/V medium pressure mercury tungsten-ballasted lamp (missed out on one in an eBay auction not long ago  ) There may be a few more, but that's all I can currently think of at the moment

Quote from: WorldwideHIDCollectorUSA on October 30, 2020, 10:04:06 PM Here are some street lights I would like on my bucket list: Original GE M1000 Original GE M400 GE Form 400 GE Form 109 Westinghouse OV20 Thorn Alpha 3 Revo Prefect Revo Lucidor Revo Sol D’or Revo Silvergold (particularly the C13198 and the C13199, and the C13197) GEC Z9494 AEI Amberline Junior GEC Z9484 Westinghouse OV25 Cooper OVX GE M250R2 Westinghouse OV50 AEG Koffer 70 GEC Dioptrion GEC clearmain GEC Optispec Thorn Gamma 6 Thorn Beta 5 Revo Dalek Philips SORA GEC Z9425 Revo C9225 Wardle open solar In particular, I seem to enjoy many of the designs that are seen on British low pressure sodium street lights since many of these lanterns have such unique designs that are not seen anywhere else. Your gonna need some good luck getting an optispec. Despite looking plentiful in other people's collections they can be bloody hard to find with only having 2 of them and not seeing one for sale since the first one. Out of plain luck my best mate sold me an incredibly rare version to me for about $50. I have managed to find some rare as stuff but not any optispecs that can still be seen in parts of NSW and QLD. You will need luck especially with post as they are pushing on a metre long and over half a metre wide with them weighing in at over 10 kilograms. And that is for the smaller ones. I can send you pictures of them for you if you'd like to gauge the size.

I think HPS, MV, and MH rule! Ban LED instead!

@Olav - Oh, I have a list. But it's growing shorter, due in a large part to the help I have received from members here since I first joined. Thanks to all concerned, you know who you are

Quote from: Olav on April 27, 2021, 04:18:46 AM Hello everyone, I used to think of a "list of important lamps" too. But my experience is that you can only influence it very little. It is often coincidences where you find beautiful and rare lamps. That's why I don't have a list. Greetings from Hamburg Olav Rare and unusual lamps have sometimes found me unexpectedly, without me looking for them.
