that is an old jet light, my favorite lamp head. Unfortunately now destined to the scrap heap. It is very sad when we skip these by the thousands. Probably the best lamp head ever.

I added another photo whilst you were posting. Could you look again please. Do you mean the top one or the bottom one?

both jets, although the new pic you posted is a SON jet, the first was a converted SON to led.

A cast iron light, i imagine' Wrought iron would bend too easily.

ok you will know best

Incredible how little I know. I feel quite stupid talking to these real experts. I might look into another job as a taxi driver or something.

well it does - i'm not telling you how to do wiring. I'm saying cast is stronger than wrought and better used to support a street light.

this is taken off Google as I know you like google. I told you I have an original 100 year old gas light in my garden. So here you go Mr know it all.

• Early streetlights, especially those powered by gas or oil, often featured wrought iron lamp posts and fixtures. These posts were often ornate, with elaborate designs and decorations, reflecting the aesthetic sensibilities of the time.

but you are wrong.

When I was a kid, I used to like how the light was a different colour when they first turned on. I have just been Googling how a sodium lamp works. I hadn't realised how efficient they actually were. Obviously nowhere near LEDs, but better than I had thought.

Could you advise me on installing the 5G towers that I am commisioning next week, I can't find anything on Google? I would hate to get it wrong.

Only an idiot would argue that is not oak. Anyone can see they are the same timber. anyway I have no interest in your obvious trolling.

the image shows it is not oak

the image (whether real or laminate) is typical of Pinus sylvestris, commonly known as Scots pine

the stripes in the grain are the difference between the spring and summer growth and are typical of coniferous timber, not hardwood.

If was oak, there would be evidence of medullary rays, given that the grain is showing various tree sections ranging from tangential through to radial.

Oak trees dont grow with lots of side branches so if it was oak there would be very few knots, almost none


but it makes no sense for that to be real, I very much doubt if it is.

There is a huge movement against LED because of this. We do keep Sodium lights going by repairing them in certain areas where we know they are very sensitive to this. I have to admit that I am with the sodium lovers and always use my expertise to repair them where as a lot of the lads will simply replace them with LED because it is easier and quicker to do,

You are way too triggered to make an informative and correct obsevation. Save it for another day.

Thank you, any particular brand that you reccommend?
