Someones being a tad optimistic with their pricing LOL, Eterna dates these to the 90's at earliest. True vintage is when they were branded under light ideas. 70's I believe were resistor wire ballasted, using a large metal back plate. I believe the start of the 80's they used regular magnetic ballasts. I have an example of the latter example type, NOS in its box.

Ah cool! Now Light Ideas stuff is vintage, nothing by Eterna is (or ever will be as it won't last that long)!
