Yep...Even some screw in LEDs I had would make noise on (weak/marginal) FM. 

probably the same crap that says 'non-dimmable' on it...

They may have been- I don't remember.  They were GE.

Hey guys, I found a NIB (new in box) AEL 115 100w HPS streetlight on ebay. Its price is relatively cheap, its around $53 bucks, plus the shipping is FREE!

 I'm thinking that I might get it, for my first streetlight, and for the backyard.

Nice! If I didn't have three 113s I'd be tempted lol.

[lightingfan8902]

I may have to buy a arm mount for the fixture, if I get it.

@lightingfan8902:
Nice find!
If you decide not to get it, I'm very tempted myself.

[lightingfan8902]

I'm going to think about it.

I found a listing for some Hubbell 150w PSMH cobras for $100 plus free shipping.
NOS but I know nothing about these. They have glass refractors, though.

Hey guys! I found a Cooper Lighting Vanguard III (ballast in arm) fixture on ebay! For $62.83 with FREE shipping!

Should I get it???

That's a good price for one IMO. I'd probably have to pay $60 for the shipping alone. There was a couple of 400w MV Cooper Lighting Vanguard III fixtures at my Restore 2 years ago and those sold for $120 each.

[ZarlogH46]

Yea, definitely get that. It was made last December which is pretty cool. I wonder why they are selling it for so cheap now..

[joe_347V]

I'm guessing it was probably extra from a project that wasn't needed anymore or the company that bought it decided to go full steam with LED and was selling any unused HPS fixtures as surplus.

I picked up a NIB 400w HPS OVF at Restore that looked like it was an extra from a project that never got installed.

[lightingfan8902]

I'll think about it. ok.

Not really related to what's been going on in this thread but has anyone else noticed how LG's off topic section is a lot more active than the rest of the site? Kind of sucks since it's a lighting website, not a social media site.  I messaged one of the admins about it, we'll see what the response is.
