Once my hearing improves, maybe one of these days I'll join the gang.

Nothing so far, but later I'll probably start making a display board for my 60W SO/H lamp.

After the above mentioned meetup, I went to an auction - not light or electrical related - but I did pick up a few fluorescent lamps there. @RyanF40T12: If you like Christmas lights/decorating at all, the guys there have some really cool stuff! Its usually a fairly small group, feel free to attend (anyone is welcome, there is no "offical" group or signing-up/costs/etc). There'll be another meetup in January (probably the last weekend of it)...If you want I can send you details sometime around mid-Jan.

replaced 1 dual circuline fixture with a bad ballast with a new fixture.  (Dual = 1 22 Watt & 1 32 watt circuline bulb in the fixture)  and swapped out another larger circuline fixture (1 32 watt circuline bulb and 1 40 watt circuline bulb) that had a bad ballast.  These things suck.  Very poor light output.  Not a fan of circuline fixtures.

Today I swapped out an old 175W MH wallpack ballast for a 150W HPS ballast with new bulb at one church building.  At that same building, I got up on the manlift and changed out 3 fried 40 year old GE Bonusline tar burner F40T12 ballasts.   Thankfully these didn't spew out any of the tar but they got SUPER hot.  melted wiring in half.  Damaged a fixture.  Will go back later this week and paint the fixture up.
