Rescued 2 400w PSMH ballasts today, they were taking down some old lights at a local grocery store. The crew there let me take a couple home as it was all going to be junked. I need to disconnect the igniters and test them with a 400w MV lamp tonight. One of these ballasts will be going to another collector, its nice to save some considering how fast they are disappearing from circulation.

There are two types of light: The glow that illuminates, and the glare that obscures.

Not a lot so far, it's still morning (what the [insert expletive of choice] am I doing up..? ::) )

Later on though we'll be making up a board with 4 E27 sockets on it all wired in series, so we can run several of the Philips spectral lamps in series. Got the idea from Photon, so I know it'll work, but what it'll look like is a mystery at the moment..!

Pictures to follow, of course..!

Today I've been working on the latest three street lanterns in my collection; getting them clean and ready to work again. :)
