My New street lights

31 Dec 2024 17:50

These are my new streetlights! I got them almost 2 weeks ago now.

This is the waste LED is causing. All of these lights in the bin. I couldn’t save these lights sadly, as it was in London and we had to get the train to London, so we couldn’t get these back.😢despite this, I did manage to save the 2 fluorescent starters. One light has a electronic ballast, so there was no starters to save. There is also a brand new LED batten in there! Like the other lights, I could not save it. The LED batten feels cheap. I don’t know why it is in there, but it is a waste. It is not too much of a problem with the LED batten as they should all be in the bin!🤣

This is my new DW Windsor strand small. It runs 70w and it has a zodion ss19 2-part photocell. It also has Parmar gear.

This is my lighting haul from fenori that I got yesterday. I got a NOS urbis zxu1, a urbis zx12, a urbis royal and a Philips mini iridium. I also got a probably EOL 18w SOX lamp, 2 zodion ss6 photocells and a thorn EMI T12 20w tube.

Urbis sapphire 2s birthday

Today, it’s my urbis sapphire 2s 19th birthday! It was made on the 11th October 2005, and today is the 11th October 2024! Making it 19 years old today.

Osram superSox 35w

10 Oct 2024 18:25

This is my new osram superSox lamp. I got it as my mum accidentally broke a Philips SOX lamp. I believe these are one of the best SOX lamps ever made.

Philips SON-T lamps

7 Oct 2024 18:07

These are my different wattages of Philips SON-T lamps. This isn’t all of the different wattages, as I don’t have any 35w, 50w, 600w or 1000w lamps. from left to right:

SOX in water

5 Oct 2024 18:42

This is the smashed SOX lamp in water. This lamp was smashed, so i thought the best thing to do with it was to smash it and put it in water. This lamp didn’t actually spark very much or go on fire, it just smoked a bit.

Smashed SOX

5 Oct 2024 12:13

This poor Philips SOX lamp got smashed sadly. It was in my thorn gamma 6, but my mum accidentally knocked the thorn gamma 6, and it fell off the table. Luckily, the thorn gamma 6 survived, but the lamp sadly didn’t. As you can see, the top of the lamp is smashed and the barium getter has gone white. This lamp will probably have to be disposed of in water. I have ordered a osram supersox 35w lamp to replace it.

Cooked 400w halogen lamp

2 Oct 2024 16:43

This is the 400w halogen lamp that came in the 400w halogen floodlight that I found in a skip in Bracknell. As you can see, the lamp is completely cooked and burnt out.

Phosco P222

2 Oct 2024 16:31

This Phosco P222 is in Bracknell. There used to be 4, but 2 of them have been replaced with a double-bracket, and 2 Philips iridiums. The 2 P222s now run on 3 SON lamps, but they used to run on 3 MBF lamps.

My light bulb collection

2 Oct 2024 16:23

This is my light bulb collection. I believe it is over 200 light bulbs.

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!

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.
