---$200 is way too much for that light."--- You got that right.!!  My jaw almost dropped hearing that price! ---A 100 percent LED electrical supply store?  --- Yup, she tried to sell Sell SELL me LEDs even to the point where she was suggesting new installations and going on a very small spiel about how Mercury Vapor is illegal to sell.  I am not sure if she was referring to Luminaires, Lamps, or both, but I know lamps are still legal to sell. The below is a joke, so I hope to get a few laughs... (Pulp Electricians discussing Mercury Vapor) "It's legal to sell em, It's legal to own them, but get this, if a cop stops you for transporting Mercury Vapor, it's ILLEGAL for them to search you." "Do you know what they call a Deluxe Mercury lamp in Paris?  Royale le Merc." 😂

A friend who is an electrician tells me he has to resort to eBay to supply the HID lamps that his customers want, he can't get them from the wholesalers any more, they are only selling LED

At my work LEDisease has reached epidemic proportions. The inside lights were converted from F32T8 fluorescent to led tubes. So far I've observed three several failures in lamps that are supposed to last "forever." The outside lights are especially prone to LEDisease. When they fail, they don't simply go out. The do the "epilepsy test" aka flashing and flickering wildly. These are the worst examples. At my other job, the F32T8 fluorescents were replaced with LED tubes that are much better quality. Only one has failed. The rest are still working perfectly and actually produce a pleasant light. I guess the quality on these is all over the place.

No kidding. Home Depot went LED on its shelves. No HID fixtures in Home Depot except for the stupid crap LED fixtures.       But Lowe's still has HID fixtures, along with the LED fixtures. I guess people are switching to LED, because of, what was that.........   Oh yeah "ENERGY REBATES" and the bulb makers like GE, and Philips are trying to fool everyone (because of their bad quality bulbs that they make today) on switching to LED! Its disgusting, and disgraceful!

No HID on retail sale here, there never has been   Now all you can get is LED; halogens and CFL's are vanishing fast, and as for incandescents, not seen those for ages, they've all been [censored] banned
