#2...it's a SOX lamp!
What wattage/phosphor type/shape was the merc lamp?
1. I might be absent from GOL for much of July-September
2. It's overcast outside right now.
3. I have an oscillating fan blowing on me right now as I type this.

Yep, #2!
Could be any of them...I'd guess #2 or #3? (although at the same time I hope you were able to make it to ReStore...you always find all kinds of cool rare/vintage stuff!

#3.
I found a preheat F40 ballast today.
There is an illuminated ceiling in my kitchen at my house here in CA.
Many of the bulbs in the house are original from 1988!

2. Canada had T17 lights at one point.
3. We also had Powergrooves at one point too.

#1 as I don't think such a thing would be practical in areas with 120v mains without bulky transformer ballasts...
1. I might be totally absent from GOL for much of the summer.
2. I once stepped in a paint tray while remodeling a bathroom.
3. I was born in 1998.

3. Your profile says you were born in code 7M
1. I find Andy likes to reply with random comments just so he can be the last to comment lol
2. I find that's how pics go off topic.
3. I might have to delete off topic posts if this happens.

I'm in Alaska right now.

A Westy F20T12 didn't survive the trip from CA to AK.

I went to a ReStore last week.
I am currently less active on LG and GOL than normal.
I have my first job now.

I'm working under a 3-lamp F40 fixture right now.
I live a few blocks from a Wal-Mart.
Part of my house was built in 2000.

I live less than a mile from my local post office
My property consists of three acres and a barn
I don't have any F40 preheat fixtures yet.

My neighbor has a Westy 100w MV NEMA lighting their backyard
I installed some 5000K CFLs in the globe lights in my hallway and it looks like the moon in there now!
I'm trying to build some more built-in shelving in my room...
