Looks pretty good eh?
This is my NEMA fixture from Jace with one of the mounting arms I salvaged from scrapped satellite dishes. When set to the furthest point, the tube is perfectly levelled if the mounting plate is screwed on a vertical surface! Plus it really looks like a miniature tapered elliptical arm!

The mounting plate is a little large, but at least it's sturdy! And the whole arm still looks better than those sold in hardware stores anyway LOL.

Wattage? Lamp type? Cool setup! Are you going to mount this on your wall or anything?

It used to be mounted on a wall, with it's own circuit and all. But I am possibly going to move in a close future, and my parents are about to sell the house. So I had to take it down, but it'll be back up when I have my own place!

It's a 100W mercury fixture BTW.

Why are your parents selling that house? Please tell me you're taking all the cool stuff with you... Shocked

Oh sure sure my collection is following me! Shocked

Well first off we sell the house because my parents are divorcing (well not in legal terms but they'll live separately, long story...). Second reason, I want to have a house with a large large yard so I can have my workshop and all the stuff I want, fixtures, electric appliances, cars xD

When i get my own house I'd like to find one with a big basement and like you said, a big yard (preferably backyard for privacy) so i'll have room for my lights and whatever else I may have. Very Happy By the looks of it, once i get my own house I'll be able to aquire a LOT of fluorescent fixtures (i could have some of them now if I had the room) so I'll want a big basement to hang them all, even if only some are operational.
