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?
High pressure mercury vapour lamps were a common replacement in street
lighting gas lanterns.
but are now obsolete,
Funny that. I swapped one last week and had no problems in buying one.
