This is where I put posts about lighting stuff, this is instead of lighting-gallery.

Old lighting posts

These are the old lighting posts from before I changed the design. 

Lighting haul from Bracknell

Sun 29 Sep 2024

This is my lighting haul from Bracknell that I got yesterday. 

1 400w halogen floodlight found in a skip

1 colour changing LED lamp that I bought

1 Wilko 2D tube 4 pin that I bought

lighting-gallery 2

Wed 25 Sep 2024

Sadly, lighting-gallery found that I was only 11, and they decided to ban me from it.😢

they didn’t even let me use it as a guest after that, but I asked them if I can just use it as a guest, and then they let me.😀

i will hopefully be going back onto lighting-gallery when I am 16, as 16 is the age limit of lighting-gallery.

Lighting-gallery

Sat 24 Aug 2024

I haven’t been updating my site for a while because I have been in Spain on holiday and I have joined lighting-gallery.net! 😊 here is a photo of a urbis Albany that I found in Spain on at night. Click on the link below to see my lighting-gallery page!

Smashed CDO-TT 250w

Sun 11 Aug 2024

sadly, I broke one of my Philips 250w cod-tt lamps. I didn’t actually drop or step on this lamp, instead, it fell out of its packaging. They are also expensive lamps and if I tried to turn this lamp on, because it has lost vacuum, the arc tube seals could get damaged after a couple of hours, or it could overheat. Also, because the lamp getter is exposed to air, it might not get to full brightness. At least I have another one of these lamps. I also have some good news, I a trying to join lighting-gallery.net!

Horrid lighting fail

Fri 9 Aug 2024

This is on ryde pier, on the Isle of Wight. They have just stuck a led floodlight onto a heritage bracket, the other side doesn’t even have anything on it. It is a horrible thing to look at.🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

 My whole street light collection 2

Sat 3 Aug 2024

I have now come back from holiday, and I have lots more updates to do on this site, however, this is my street light collection on Sat 3 Aug 2024. It is getting quite large.

Destroyed column

Fri 26 July 2024

I might not update my website as much as I normally would for about a week, as I am going on holiday to the Isle of Wight, however, I will do my best 😊 . However, I have found a destroyed lamppost! It has been cut off and has a cover over it! Looking on google maps, it used to have a dw windsor Kirium eco on it. It is on Chertsey lane, Staines. I have heard that if the lantern is ok, Surrey council re-uses the lantern, hopefully, they have re-used the lantern from this one.

Damaged signpost

Thu 25 July 2024

Well, I don’t know what happened here, but the door is loose and you can see the cutout fuse holder and circuit breaker inside the column. It looks like someone has crashed into it as it looks loose in the ground. It is not very safe as it is electrics and water can get in! Also, people could put their hands inside the column! This is on the B388, vicarage road in Egham.

Surrey highways depot haul

Tue 23 July 2024

This is my lighting haul from the Surrey highways depot! It is much better than what I was expecting! 😊 It did have a Philips dynavision 100w SON electronic ballast, however it was used in my Wrtl arc 90. I got lots of lamps, a cu phosco p567, a thorn beta 5 top enters on a revo bracket, a simmonsigns lua, a thorn beta 5 canopy and gear tray and a EOL Wrtl Libra led geartray. And even 3 150w osram Vialox xt’s, which are very rare. Also, A NOS 35w Sox tube. Thank you to the people at the Surrey highways depot for giving me this and the others I got before.

surrey highways depot visit

Mon 22 July 2024

I am going back to the Surrey highways depot tomorrow to get some more parts to fix some lanterns and maybe an old lantern or 2! I will add another post tomorrow to show what I got. I am very excited to go back! 😊
