Today I went on a short road trip to retrieve a early 60's ? 1000w MV GE PowerFlood I found on FaceBook Marektplace . Despite being in communication with the seller for 3 months  it was definitely worth the wait !! Photos soon !!

Yesterday and today we've been running up some of our wonderful Philips spectral lamps 

Today at the moment it's the turn of Krypton (the top one in that picture) 

I've just taken delivery of 1¾ gallons of oily 'tuff. 
So the mass lighting of my oily lampses can go ahead. 
I'm glad the weather has turned cooler... 

  " I'm glad the weather has turned cooler...    "

  Once you light you're entire collection NE Scotland will probably experiance a heatwave !! 

I'm going to wait until the end of the month for my new lantern to arrive before I do the light up. 

Tim... What's with the punctuation.?? 

 What punctuation ??    I've been up late too many days in the last week !! 

What punctuation..? Exactly 

"you're" instead of "your" was actually what we had in mind 

 Like I said , WAYYY too many late nights !

Think what it's like when you call us, talk for four hours, then say you've got to go to bed.!!! 

 At least you don't have to get up at 4:30 in the morning ! 

That's the time we get to bed after you've phoned... 

    

 B.O.T.  I inspected my latest eBay purchases to find that one of the "new" items I purchased wasn't just used , it was also damaged to the point of being USELESS !!!  (I already sent the seller a message !!

I have 4 church buildings within the city limits of Denver in which the City is requiring all lighting be converted over to LED by the end of the year.  Yeah, not happy about the fluorescent/incandescent ban hitting so close to home like this but am not surprised with this coming from the city of Denver.   

So last night I did a count of what exactly I'll have to convert over.  If I win the bid/quote to do the work, I'll be busy for a bit.  This is just for one building of the 4.
