Title: Help?
Post by: Truckersboy2010 on March 31, 2012, 09:45:26 AM

Hey guys i need your help!  my mom is threatening to throw all of my lights out for lack of space! i live in a small home with absolutely nowhere to store all of my fixtures in which i am not done collecting. I cant put my lights outside and plus i dont wanna do that, and under my bed is running out of space. So if you guys have any suggestions please let me know!  :(

Does your house have an attic   or  crawlspace?  while neither is an ideal place to keep lights, both will work (I wouldn't keep anything plastic in the attic though) :)

I'm in a similar situation. However, my parents have never threatened to get rid of them, they do stress that I only get something if it's really somthing of value to me. So I've passed up on lots of stuff.
Anyways, something to consider is getting racks or shelves for them if you have an unused corner of the room.

Yeah. I can't collect any more either. So i'm posting my "unimportant" lights here for others to get so I have more room for older lights. for example, I gave away my 175w mercury vapor yardblaster because Jace is sending me a 100w MV NEMA head. Since both are around the same size, space should okay. I might let go of my wallpack and I will be letting go of  this light  (http://www.galleryoflights.org/mb/gallery/displayimage.php?album=320&pos=15) after I put better paint on it. and clean it up some more. Some of my homemade light will just go in the trash if I don't like them.
