Love the lamp and the conversion you have made to it. I love the pure white daylight emitted from the bulb and how it is refracted through the diffuser. I don't know about screwing the mounting arm into a tree though.
Cool! Can you purchase 50-watt mercury lamps in the US? I have a 50-watt mercury lamp running off a 58-watt fluorescent ballast which lights up my garden
@Parrot175 Have you tried running that 50-watt MV bulb in that electronic ballast?
If yes does it work?
I have loads of magnetic ballasts but no electronic ballasts yet
In the UK magnetic ballasts are still the dominant fixture even in modern fittings The electronic ones haven’t court up yet but as they say the UK is always 10 years behind America ie they are still using 50-watt MV bulbs for lighting up traffic ballads & large road signs
does the fluorescent bulb have mercury in it?

@slaterms11 It was clean when I got the street light.

Damn, you have a nice yard! In that fixture, one might mistake that for mercury vapor. Nice!

Do you leave it on at night? Cause that would be awesome!

@sodiumvapor13 Sometimes I leave it on at night but 90% of the time it is off so it does not bother other people at night.
