I "rescued" this bulb from a blown over and broken street lamp.

I suspect it's not gonna work plugged into a standard ES socket. Any
creative suggestions as to what to do with it? ;-)


Go back and steal the control gear.


I think you mean €śrescue€ť, not steal. ;-)

A socket set will open up the metal
cover.


Alas not possible I was exaggerated a little bit about the whole lamp
blowing over, it was only the lantern off he top that blew off. Its also
in a very public place for performing such rescues. Itll almost certainly
get replaced with an LED lamp so I suppose I could ask the council nicely
if they have any redundant control gear. Any idea what I should ask for
(exactly)?
