Replaced an EOL F20 plant/aquarium lamp (and the starter) in one of my aquarium lights.

I saw this video: https://i.imgur.com/lL3130r.mp4

I wonder if the guy even knows that the mercury, as small as the amount is, sticks to the phosphor and glass.

Back on Monday I got a 175w MV shoebox light that I'm currently in the process of repainting and restoring, the place I got it from has a parking lot full of them and the guys working on changing them out gave me one (and seemed to be willing to give me more  8;) )
I might go back and see if I can get some of the floodlights that's there as well along with another one (or 2) of the shoebox lights cause why not  ::)
(I've done a lot of lighting related things recently, just haven't had the time to post about any of it)

I think HPS, MV, and MH rule! :mv: :mvc: :hps: :emh: Fluorescent lights are also awesome!

Tested, cleaned, and serviced a number of 1987-1988 Lithonia Lighting 2xF40T12 fluorescent strip lights so that I can install them in the lighting workshop next weekend. The fixtures were acquired from FaceBook MarketPlace back in November.

The fixtures have a mix of ballasts, mostly Universal 446-LR-TC-Ps, a couple Advance R-2S40-TPs, and one has a GE electronic ballast which will likely be replaced. One fixture did not come with a ballast. All ballasts seem to work just fine, so I will go ahead and install the fixtures. A couple of lampholders needed to be replaced.

For cleaning, I disassembled the fixtures and pressure washed the housings, then I went back in with some wipes and put the fixtures back together. Took several hours to get them all done, but I’m glad they are all finished now. There is some rust on a few of the fixtures, but I won’t worry about that for the time being.
