Quote from: HPS_250 on September 21, 2020, 10:24:04 AM LED lamps only sell in my opinion because average people don’t care about lighting, as long as they can light up an area. That's true, however the other reason they sell is because government legislation has mostly banned manufacture and sale of everything else

I definitely agree with you on how LED is definitely not as environmentally friendly as advertised, and I wrote that.

I’ve always been interested in all kinds of lighting, mainly incandescent and HID, and especially all kinds of sodium lamps (HPS/LPS). I’ll tolerate LED but I’m not a fan of it.
I’m not proud to say that my city has Devolved to LED.

Indeed  Still, we are where we are, and it is up to us to collect and preserve what we can of traditional lighting while it's still available

Another SOX collector, welcome to the club (soon, anyway)  Thanks, I’m happy to join!  I’ll say that I’ll probably be in the SOX club in about two weeks (meaning that I’ll buy it in the next few days, and then giving about a week for shipping).
