Welcome to GoL Daniel! I'm Joseph.

I like the Lithonia recessed square and the turret industrial lume. BTW you can still get T12 magnetic ballast off of eBay and from smaller hardware stores.

You can also post your pictures on the gallery section as I find that section gets more visitors than the forum.

Thanks, Joseph! I tried uploading to the galleries, but it won't allow me to.

As promised:

First off with this track-light lamp, that came out of my basement. Anyone have info on these? My house's previous owners Jerry rigged it to be hardwired, via splicing off the plug. It also overheated after they used R20 bulbs. I had rewired it, but to cut the cord later for another project.




Sighted the very same lamp elsewhere:


Now moving on to my showcase of octagon fixtures. Always had a thing for these.

Unknown model, circa 1990-1991. Came out of my mom's coworker's apartment. Anyone have info?




Another unknown, circa mid 90s. I suspect it to be Progress Lighting. Had the very same one in my basement, but it overheated. From looking at the UL issue number, this one is slightly newer than the other I had. Anyone have info on this one? Please note that mounting bracket isn't original.






Not vintage, but a Hampton Bay from 2001. Got it from my neighbor.


Maxim Lighting model, from the same neighbor. Originally installed in 1989. I've seen many variations of the Maxim version, all from the same era.



Another Maxim I got NIB at Habitat. Installed it in my basement. Was a PITA to align evenly, due to how the electrical box was installed.

I have a 400w Lithiona Hi-Tek highbay myself...well three actually...

joe_347V:
I have quite a bit of lights, you can see most of them in my gallery.

Mike:
BTW, i wanted to let you know your highbay has some code violations. :o :(

Here's how i'd rewire it (not to attack you or anything):
Use a grounded supply wire and use romex staples to properly attatch it to the ceiling instead of the existing cable
Install a cover on the juction box with an outlet on it and connect the romex to it
Attatch a hardwired plug to the high bay's cord and plug the cord into the outlet on the new juction box.

All these products can easily be bought at lowes or home depot too which is a plus since you don't need to hunt high and low to find them lol.

It should vaguely resemble this.

Again, sorry to come on a little strong lol. Don't want you to get electrocuted or anything. :o
