The Canada Science and Technology Museum posted parts of their lighting collection online.

See how many rare pieces you can see.  :MV:

Mike:
 :o :o :o :D LOVE that Powerlite! 8)

joe_347V:
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's a NOS or almost NOS B2217. There's also some other goodies in their collection like a 400w /X Banner merc (maybe the only one left in Canada), a PG fluorescent streetlight and a medium pressure? 250w merc.   

joe_347V:
Seems this site has a much more detailed catalogue of the collection.

Some of the lighting goodies I've found:
1st Gen Powergroove(with the long grooves on one side)
Same but the 6' version
Another view of the B2217
A Westinghouse OV-14B
LM Ovalite
Powerlite fluorescent streetlight
Newer PG lamp
PG lamp with uncoated electrodes
Half coated PG lamp

There was also some T17 lamps so I'd imagine they were somewhat common in Canada back in the 50s and the 60s which is when it seems like the majority of the collection dates from.

Mike:
Oh wow! I assume these artifacts exist in some real location, so is there a physical museum open to the public where these lights can be seen in person, or do the exhibits exist solely online?
