Oh come on. I got enough HID lamps for life. Just have a nice stash of old school Lifeguard mercury lamps. They'll last a life time.

Well if this the case then I'm not going to bother collecting streetlights. Or at least HID ones. Because it will be difficult to get lamps. Or else they will be overpriced collectors items than something comfortable using.  ::)

You can always try. Or try to make an HID lamp like WattMaster's trying to do. ;)

I asked Sylvania/Ledvance customer service about this. Here is their response:

The standards do not necessarily tighten on January 1st.  DOE must still make a determination whether to amend the existing standards, and we don’t expect that to be made until later this year.  It’s a bit complicated, but DOE has stated publicly that they do not believe the “backstop” goes into effect on 1/1/20.  See attached presentation

In answer to his direct question, LEDVANCE does – and will – comply with all laws and regulations in effect.

Thanks,
Jenn

Whats this about Canada banning all mercury containing lamps in 2023?!

I thought things were more LAX here, think I know which political party leader in Canada is the cause of this problem but I wont name..  this is an assault to lighting enthusiasts like me

In Canada, it's not only lamps. Environment Canada is in the midst of heavily regulating mercury content in a variety of things. Since LED lamps are available, they strongly suggest you buy them instead of Hg ones, and will "gradually" instill a phaseout with a ban between 2023 and 2028.

Sounds like I'll be collecting a bit more vigorously than before...
