A 75w Merc!
Found this Sylvania 75w merc yesterday in the clearance section at a Home Hardware store. 
It's being tested in the pic using my 50w MH [url=http://www.galleryoflights.org/mb/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-4395]Gardco recessed light.[/url]
It's not running the most ideal ballast but low watt mercury ballasts seem to be really hard to find and the 50w MH is the closest thing to a H43 ballast. [img]http://www.galleryoflights.org/mb/gallery/images/smiles/icon_razz.gif[/img]

Hmm... I never saw any mercs at any Home Hardware that I went to.

Yeah Home Hardware seems to have the biggest variation of what they sell, in fact I scored this at a Home Hardware in Markham. And I've also heard of people finding LPS fixtures there.

There (supposedly) is a 18w SOX tube at Home Hardware as well, but never found it.

You mean this right? I've yet to see a Home Hardware that sells them, but Icefoglights here managed to find a store in BC that had one. The only place I saw LPS lamps being sold was at a RONA near Montreal.

Yep. I get my SOX lamps from a local lighting retailer.

I got my used Osram LPS lamps at Restore and my NOS Philips I got with my 18w LPS fixture.
