Built a new ballast board for our GEC 135/180W SOX leak transformer, and lit a GE (Thorn) 180W lamp on it

Lit a GE HR175DX39 MV that I got yesterday. Nothing too special and made you know where, but it was cheap and it was new in box.

I saved an old Grandlite yardblaster from being tossed. It does not seem to be bad quality considering it is just a cheap fixture. I opened it up and there were SOOOOOOOOO many bugs inside it!

I have a picture of it in my gallery. It's in mint condition, it just needs a new photocell and lamp and it needs a minor wipe down. The ballast inside this is huge considering it is an S55 ballast. The ballast manufacturer for the ballast inside this is IPP. It's most definitely not a cheap ballast!

Spent some time over the weekend taking and uploading pictures to my gallery. One LED streetlight turned out to be a fork and blah blah blah thread derailed. The rest of the pictures didn't do well so basically wasted a lot of time and now 9pm on Sunday realized I could have done much more productive things. I did however receive a wealth of information from member takemorepills about traffic light problems so not a total waste of time afterall and I am greatful to him for providing the answers.

I have to ask, why do you call fluorescent tubes "bulbs"  They're tubular, not bulbous, I've always wondered, over here they're always called tubes or lamps, never bulbs.
