Hi peeps,

I have an old Victorian street lamp i want to hang off a telegraph pole
in my garden. It was gas originally, but i need it to produce a decent
amount of light, be efficient and reliable.

It looks a bit like this-

But is 50cm wide and 80cm tall, i think it needs a bigger bulb!

Any suggestions?

3300 lumens out of the 50W aught to be adequate!

Interesting, will look into discharge lamps. Ta



Much as I like Johns suggestion I would suggest you look at LED replacements
for discharge lamps. Instant switch on, lower running costs and no need to
buy any control gear (ballasts etc)
