The Craftmans Shop > New from Old

saved from the dump,,

(1/2) > >>

stirling lad:
Not really a 'new from old' but I spotted this being offered on my local freecycle site,,so I just had to save it from ending up in the landfill site...



It appears small from this angle but its really quite large with a very heavy base and transformer..
A real stroke of luck as I've fancied one of these for years but could'nt bring myself to spend over £60 on a decent one , as i've learned my lesson about buying the cheapest ones,, the only problem i have now is the bulb looks like its on its way out, and I've no idea how you go about replacing it,, I'll just have to take the tube to a lighting shop i suppose...
over the years I've acquired some handy bits and pieces for freecycle, like those plastic storage trays,shelving ect... you just never know whats gonna turn up..

Sid_Vicious:
Those are nice for detail work.

It could be a good candidate for an LED conversion.  In the end it may use less heat and power, produce more light, and perhaps even cost you less.

awemawson:
Those circular bulbs just plug in - 4 pins at the plastic join. Also usually a clip opposite the joiner.. TLC Electrics carry them.

 Hi there, Mike,

Here's the relevant TLC page  https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Main_Index/Lighting_Menu_Index/Lighting_Fluorescent_Index/Fluorescent_Tubes_1/index.html.

I expect you'll also find a 'store locator' on the TLC web-site.
