Introduction
I don't especially collect lamps
(bulbs), but inevitably I have built up a small collection of lamps associated
with streetlighting; these are intended for eventual display with the lanterns
in the collection.
When acquiring lanterns, it’s always nice to be able to
get the lantern complete with its lamp. However, for Heath and Safety reasons,
local authorities and lighting contractors will often remove the lamps from the
lanterns as part of the disposal and recycling process. This is generally done
because discharge lamps contain poisonous, corrosive, and sometimes explosive,
gases. Therefore, I often have to acquire lamps from other sources such as ebay,
electrical wholesalers, and other streetlighting collectors.
If you want further information on lamps, then there are other websites that specifically cover lamps in greater detail, and give technical information relating to them; please click here to go to my links page.
