Number 3
I got a 400w MV Powr/Bracket today!
My house has lots of florescent lighting
I have a 175w MV light in my backyard

[joe_347V]

Yep number 3 is right. I'm guessing the first one is wrong?

I have ten cobraheads in my collection
I only have 1 BT 25 merc lamp
I converted my wraparound from T8 to T12 over the summer

[GEsoftwhite100watts]

1 or 2
I got FIVE pre-EcoLux GE 34w Watt-Misers today! Normally I'd never grab those but they were free and would have been thrown out so I felt sorry for them and saved them. 
I helped clean up/gut a house a friend's daughter is moving into. 
I have a /DX bulb in my yard light

[joe_347V]

Three is wrong?

I have a incandescent traffic light made by GE.
I bought a new streetlight today.
My oldest MV lamp is from 1964.

[GEsoftwhite100watts]

Could be any but I'm going to hazard a guess that it's #2
I got a new yardblaster yesterday
I got a bunch of 130v 5000 hour bulbs in various wattages along with some vintage 12v bulbs yesterday
Today I got a bunch of light socket adapters like Y adapters and those screw in plug adapters.  Some are so old they aren't even polarized!

[joe_347V]

Yep number 2 is right.

The gull has yet to post in this thread.
MV ballasts were banned on January 1, 2008.
The shoebox thread has 80 comments on it.

[GEsoftwhite100watts]

Number 2, weren't they banned at the END of 2008?
I'm getting a vintage shoplight
I'm in the process of bringing home two cases worth of warm white MainLighters
All of the circline adapters I have work flawlessly

[Mike]

@ Joe; i say number one.
@ Andy; nope his number two is correct. I think new probe start MH fixtures were banned too though oddly enough they still allow the ballasts to be made... I'll guess you're number 3 is wrong.

1. I find my world history one honors class SOOOOOOOOOOOOO hard! If it wasn't for one reason i'd switch to a regular world history one class.
2. I am allowed to have the one lamp F40T12 fixture i was talking about before as long as my cousin's grandma allows me to.
3. I lost the original ballast to my closet light!

[GEsoftwhite100watts]

Number 3....
Following the theme of F20T12 trigger start striplights, 1. I got one today! 2.It has a Universal trigger start  ballast for one F20T12, F15T12, F14T12, or F15T8 lamps that hums loudly but instant starts every time. 3. It has a Westy blackender in it!

[Mike]

#3 is wrong for you as well? Funny, my closet light originally had a ballast just like yours. What's the date? (there should be a code like "A03" stamped on the back of the ballast, which would mean "January 2003".

1. Next week will be just my second full week of school this school year.
2. I will be old enough to get my permit in a little over a year and a half.
3. I have brown hair and blue eyes.

[GEsoftwhite100watts]

1 or 3
I wired up my striplight already
I picked up one of my new MainLighters yesterday
I'm getting a 75w slimline fixture! Yay!

[joe_347V]

I' m guessing number 3?

I have a 175w MV streetlight.
I bought a bunch of HID lamps at Lowe's on saturday.
I replaced a ballast for a F20 striplight recently.

[GEsoftwhite100watts]

yep, number 3...I wish tho...
for you it's one or three
I'm listening to Lady Gaga asI type this.
I already ate breakfast.
My new striplight is lit

[Mike]

number one for you Andy? BTW, if i can change the ballasts in my grandpa's shop i'll definetly send you a slimline ballast! I think they're mostly 2 lamp ballasts with a couple one lamp ballasts.

1. Friday i got the fourth industrial fluorescent light (with pluger bi-pin sockets) from my grandpa! I'm using my Westinghouse AGRO-LITE lamps until i can get some Sylvania Cool White Plus lamps.
2. Only a month until Halloween!
3. It's been a rainey weekend here. It was dry yesterday but cool and cloudy.

[joe_347V]

Number one for me. and I guess number 1 for you Mike?


Crouse Hinds made traffic lights before they were bought by Cooper
My new 4 way traffic light will arrive on Monday.
We had DONT WALK/WALK crosswalk lights in the 70s.
