You can't have too many lamps, but you can have not enough space  If only moving wasn't so expensive

Balancing the books To see how it looks We’ve spent quite a lot And what have we got More lamps in addition That’ll boost our collection I thought that this poem was appropriate to the topic.

I personally couldn't imagine moving all of the stuff I have ! Absolutely..! Another SOX lamp just arrived this morning, a 91W SOX-E, so that's another one ticked off the wattage ratings list, only the 10W (fat chance  ) and the 131W SOX-E to go, then that will be all the SOX ratings. Then we start trying for the 60W & 200W SLI lamps, then we might have a go at getting all the different ratings from each manufacturer, as the ones we have are a mixture  I doubt we'll ever get all the SO/H and SOI/H ratings, but we'll have a go..!

Quote from: 589 on January 09, 2020, 08:40:03 PM The space isn’t the problem for me, it’s the financial cost. I have expensive taste... for SOX and MV. I have most of my lamps in flip top bins on shelving units with the 135w+ SOX in gun cases. Fixtures are fit into whatever size box I can find. Cobraheads fit well on a scalloped diaper changing pad lol. I'm going to make a box on wheels that will slide under our bed for the longer lamps.

I tried sell locally (in Finnish auction site) a bunch of (60pce) unused 75w & 100w incandescents 5 EUR +shipping for the whole bunch and despite it was there for several months nobody was interested.

Quote from: monkeyface on January 11, 2020, 03:45:23 AM I already did run out space for my lamps and fixtures. Especially because I had to move a part of it to another location. Finally I found plenty space in our (company) former street lighting storage room but that’s only a temporary solution. I do need to sell off most of the lamps which I got in plenty numbers like new old stock 80W mercury lamps which I have 120 of them. I might be interested in a few of those Michael, although probably not 120 of them

存放空间不够几乎是每个收藏爱好者的通病，从最初的只在我房间（次卧）摆放，灯架放到床底下，然后到现在几乎摆满了我家全部的房间，主卧也摆了一部分，现在大部分都已经摆到客厅了。

Quote from: monkeyface on January 12, 2020, 04:53:25 AM I can send you a couple but just to inform you the shipping is CHF 34.- for an economy parcel of max. 2kg. and CHF 42.- for 5kg.  Hmmm, I think I'll have to pass at that price right now, we have a set of spectral lamps to save up for..!

Quote from: monkeyface on January 12, 2020, 04:56:50 AM I did try to avoid keeping my lamps in the apartment but now I put some of the best ones as a display in the living room. Other lamps and fixtures are now stored in four different locations. I'm going to be putting up some shelving in our living room to display some of our more special lamps on.
