WTF. £69.99 for Postage where is it coming from, even a American Street Light would be just as cheap from the USA inc Postage, example see American Electric Lighting 11507SCA120R2FG HPS 120V Street Parking Lamp.

I think someone is trying (and will fail) to get around eBay's 10% cut of the final value. People used to inflate the postage and sell the item for 99p to get out of having to pay. eBay soon realised, which is why they now take 10% of everything, be it either the final value of the item or the postage fee.

Yep I have a 150 watt model in Both Flat Glass and Prismatic Bowl which can be lit on the UK mains using the 277 volt tapping on the Ballast

the only problem is you need American High Pressure Sodium Lamps with a 52/55 volt Arc Tube not the European HPS lamps with 90/100 volt Arc Tubes.
