Why did you trash such an awesome fixture? Crying or Very sad
Form109   [Jul 30, 2011 at 12:18 AM]
i didn't Trash it...someone threw the bits and pieces away.
gailgrove   [Jul 30, 2011 at 01:23 AM]
Not exactly that "awesome" a fixture if you ask me. Laughing
joe_347V   [Jul 30, 2011 at 01:26 AM]
I always thought they were a bit cheap looking if you ask me Laughing

Besides you could still get them on ebay or in Canada Very Happy

Well of course it's not an awesome fixture in comparison to the one's you two Have! Shocked

but for my First HID Fixture....awesome indeed. Razz
joe_347V   [Dec 05, 2011 at 12:42 AM]
Of course, my first HID fixture was one of these bucket specials too. Razz
GullWhiz   [Dec 05, 2011 at 12:50 AM]
It was also my first HID fixture too believe it or not!

A yardblaster was my first functional HID light, but my OV25 was the first light in my collection.
gailgrove   [Dec 05, 2011 at 12:55 AM]
My first HID lights was my FCO 125, I still don't have any sort of blaster!
streetlight98   [Dec 05, 2011 at 12:56 AM]
You'll have a rough version of a blaster soon. Razz

My first HID fixture was an M-400 R2. xD Which is DIFFERENT than most people. xD

But I lit the yardblaster first. Then later I lit the M-400 R2. And now I have what... 19 cobraheads. xD And a NEMA head. And an HPS yardblaster.

Who ELSE had a cobrahead as their first HID fixture?

.. Other than Niall.

Eh. i just said I did a few comments ago. Wink

My very first HID fixture was a AE 113 when I was 7. I ended up breaking it because I tinkered with it way to much.
Form109   [Dec 07, 2011 at 01:33 AM]
the "My First Fixture" Thread?...Meh. Razz
streetlight98   [Dec 07, 2011 at 02:07 AM]
Interesting how Devonte always ends up with the ramdom threads. Razz Laughing
Form109   [Dec 07, 2011 at 02:28 AM]
yes it is...come on guys. Shocked
joe_347V   [Dec 07, 2011 at 06:10 AM]
And then once the first OT post get posted, the comment thread will inflate to shoebox thread lengths. Shocked

Same here, my first HID light was a (dead) 175w GE multivapor metal halide lamp, then a bunch of 400w and 1000w metal halides along with a couple 1000w HPS lamps, (which I STILL haven't gotten around to testing (the halides must be base up and are dirty with fingerprints on them, don't want an explosion and UV LOL. Can I run a 1000w MH on a 1000w HPS ballast?
But an Electripak 175w mercury vapor yardblaster from the 80s (long story behind it) was what I will consider my first HID light (because it is actually practical to use indoors), and I fire it up regularly.
