Hmm, what's this some wall light?
|
Found a 12" green turn arrow today and decided to turn it into a wall light with a circline fixture I had lying around for a few years. The circline fixture was from Restore and had a broken diffuser so I only kept the ballast and metal base from it. I used some angle brackets, strapping, and screws to make the lens holder bracket.
Fixture will be mounted properly after I get a round JB for it.

very clever design you made! i've thought about jerry rigging a keyless lampholder to hold an 8" or 12" signal reflector. That way i could probably get away with using a 40W lamp for 100W worth of light!
I can show some detail pics of how the lens is mounted if you want. Also if you want to jerry rig a 8 or 12" reflector to a keyless lampholder I would use some angle brackets and a hose clamp to mount it.
I recommend using a aluminium reflector as glass might be too fragile (and rare) to be used that way.
I got the rest of the parts I needed to mount this light up and now it's on this wall.
Oh and also this lens looks like it's a older plastic lens since it's green instead of turquoise like on the newer plastic lenses and the glass lenses. It's made by LFE TCD Automatic Signal and still has the rubber gasket.
