These are bulbs i've accumulated over the years and I have lots more to go through with you all.

Sketchy Mercury Streetlight Test Rig
In today's video, we are having a look at my board mounted Mercury Lamp Rig.
It consists of the internals of an old 1960s 125w Mercury Bulb Street Lamp that I salvaged from an old industrial works.
I wired it up onto a piece of wood, as it was in the lamp column, I also added the tri-pin bulb holder too for ease of testing.
Today we fire it up and have a chat about the plans for it.

LED Converted Outdoor Coronet Party Lights
In today's video, we take a break from testing bulbs, and we are having a look at a set of large, outdoor Coronet Lights. They normally run SES E14 15w Pygmy Bulbs, but we have converted them to LED.
Sit back as we pull them apart and show how they can be serviced.

DAZLITE & PIFCO Pierrot and Snowmen Projects
In this video, we have a look at one of several Pierrot and Snowmen projects we have in the works.
These two sets featured are under the DAZLITE brand name, but these lights were also made primarily by PIFCO, they even share the same model numbers and box design.
We will be revisiting these lights, and another set that we restored, and one that is under restoration.

A little 'light' history.
The early 90s were the beginning of the end for 'classic' style Christmas light sets, new manufacturing and safety laws saw the delicate thinner cables replaced with thick and bulky black ones for 240v sets of lights, making them look cumbersome and chunky.
NOMA still produce some 'classic style' sets of lights, identical to the late 80s lights, but unfortunately with the thick cable.
But even these are going away slowly but surely and replaced with characterless, shadeless sets of LED lights.
There are a lot of modern lights that we do like!
We do hope that one of the legacy firms like PIFCO or NOMA bring back the classic style lights, perhaps in low voltage LED form in sets of 20 and 40, and possibly 60-100 too with the old style shades, a mix and match option would be brilliant.
What do you think ?

A little 'light' history.
The early 90s were the beginning of the end for 'classic' style Christmas light sets, new manufacturing and safety laws saw the delicate thinner cables replaced with thick and bulky black ones for 240v sets of lights, making them look cumbersome and chunky.
NOMA still produce some 'classic style' sets of lights, identical to the late 80s lights, but unfortunately with this thick cable.
Over the years, Christmas lights have been replaced with characterless, shadeless sets of lights, then eventually we got the domination of LED lights.
Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of modern lights that I do like, and I will try to do some videos about them too.
We do hope that one of the legacy firms like PIFCO or NOMA bring back the classic style lights, perhaps in low voltage LED form in sets of 20 and 40, and possibly 60-100 too with the old style shades, a mix and match option would be brilliant.

A little 'light' history.
The early 90s were the beginning of the end for 'classic' style Christmas light sets, new manufacturing and safety laws saw the delicate thinner cables replaced with thick and bulky black ones for 240v sets of lights, making them look cumbersome and chunky.
NOMA still produce some 'classic style' sets of lights, identical to the late 80s lights, but unfortunately with this thick cable.
Over the years, Christmas lights have been replaced with characterless, shadeless sets of lights, then eventually we got the domination of LED lights.
Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of modern lights that I do like, and I will try to do some videos about them too.
We do hope that one of the legacy firms like PIFCO or NOMA bring back the classic style lights, perhaps in low voltage LED form in sets of 20 and 40, and possibly 60-100 too with the old style shades, a mix and match option would be brilliant.
What do you think ?
