Two Truths and a Lie About Yourself

[GEsoftwhite100watts]

1 or 2?
Someone suggested I suspend that 3-lamp fixture with chains from the ceiling
I know of an Appleton 1000w MV flood somewhere that got retrofitted with two giant spirals.
I like mudding on ATVs.

[Mike]

LOl it's #1.

# 2 for you?

Do you like to go snowmobiling? (i figured I'd ask since snow season is coming lol)

[GEsoftwhite100watts]

Actually I just realized I accidentally put 3 truths...
I only vaguely know what a snowmobile is, therefore no...
Someone showed me a pic of a huge MV lamp they have on their phone today
I have an F40 preheat fixture above my head right now.
I got the mail today. 

[Mike]

yeah i've never riden a snowmobile before either. It's bacially an ATV but i think it has skees for wheels.


Hmm. Since it's Sunday #3 must be a lie unless you didn't get yesterday's mail... then again, i don't think you have a PH fixture so I'll go with #2...


1. It's been REALLY windy (and cold) out today and will be tonight.
2. I lost power for a second while I wasn't home. It was enough for my electric GE clock to show the red circle (meaning the time is wrong) but short enough for the time to still be right.
3. I have a half-day Wednesday and then have a four-day weekend.

#2.
I moved my houseplants upstairs to my room today and stuck GE plant&aquarium lamps in the 3-lamp troffer overhead.
I changed a ballast today.
It was an Advance Benchlite LPF one.

[Mike]

nope #3 was a lie for me. I wish i had a 1/2 day.

#3 for you too?

[GEsoftwhite100watts]

Yep a MagneTek died and I stuck in a Radionic that's even dimmer and crappier...

[Mike]

I've never had to replace a dead ballast before. And I've never had any of my fluorescent lamps go EOL but i don't use them long enough for that to happen anyways. When I had the two F17T8 wrap lights up they used to chew through lamps like crazy but the T12s don't. The Electronic IS ballasts didn't like the lamps when the fixture was frequently switched so... lol it's sort of ironic how mt my house 4ft magnetic T12 replaced 2ft electronic IS T8

[GEsoftwhite100watts]

Like a backwards conversion? I've done that before...

My school group relamped with Sylvania 5000k F40s.
I've heard people I know getting paged in the Seattle airport...
A family member helped build an addition on my house before we bought it 10 years later.

[Mike]

#2 a lie? and yeah it went from keyless sockets with 90W incandescent lamps, to 2X F17T8 instant start electronic wrap lights, to 2X F40T12 magentic fluorescent (the laundry room went from T8 to 1X F40T12 then was upgraded again to 2X F40 like the utility room).

1. I shaved off my beard today and got a haircut- look like a totally new person.
2. it was mild today but very windy and rainey.
3. I celebrate Hanukkah.

#2?
-There's a GE Bonusline rapid start ballast in my Sears shoplight
-There's a Universal Therm-o-Matic ballast in the light over my head as I type.
-It's running a pair of cool white Mainlighters.

[Mike]

#3's the lie but i guess that one was a little hard...

#3 for you too since you said they're /WW.

[GEsoftwhite100watts]

Yep...you're right!
I installed a couple CFLs today
They were 6500K
There's a Sylvania Design 50 and an ACE F40CW in my garage light.

[Mike]

#2?

1. i went shopping today with my mom for a suit and tie.
2. It's COLD today! Not windy though and very sunny.
3. It's supposed to snow tomorrow here.

[GEsoftwhite100watts]

Yep #2, they were 2700K.  Not sure about yours, though.

-It snowed here today a bit and still is.
-My neighbor and I got their woodshed/carport half-built...posts in, roof partially framed up.
-One of the lamps in one of my troffers died today.
