Today I secured the go ahead to rescue a pair of abandoned Revo Horizon lanterns on an industrial estate. They're battered and bruised, but I don't care. I think they're beautiful lanterns! ;D (image is for reference, not the actual lantern)

We took delivery of the packs of bubble tubes I had ordered.! 8)
We have been looking for them for years, so they must be like buses, you wait ages for one, then three come along at once... :lol:

There are two types of light: The glow that illuminates, and the glare that obscures.

Replaced a couple of ballasts in a 4 lamp F40T12 fixture for a friend last week. Had to go electronic since magnetic ballasts are only available NOS now but it beats converting it to a certain solid state light source.

Today I've replaced the Simplex Aries lantern in my garden and fitted a Thorn Beta 5 as a replacement.

Had a look through all of the crates in the 'beer' cupboard to try and find a particular fixture without any luck.

I've now put the 2D lampses in the cupboard where we have the other lampses that go into daily service. :)

Rescued 2 400w PSMH ballasts today, they were taking down some old lights at a local grocery store. The crew there let me take a couple home as it was all going to be junked. I need to disconnect the igniters and test them with a 400w MV lamp tonight. One of these ballasts will be going to another collector, its nice to save some considering how fast they are disappearing from circulation.

It'll be all right in the end, so if it isn't all right, it isn't the end.

Not a lot so far, it's still morning (what the [insert expletive of choice] am I doing up..? ::) )

Later on though we'll be making up a board with 4 E27 sockets on it all wired in series, so we can run several of the Philips spectral lamps in series. Got the idea from Photon, so I know it'll work, but what it'll look like is a mystery at the moment..!

Pictures to follow, of course..!

Today I've been working on the latest three street lanterns in my collection; getting them clean and ready to work again. :)
