Artistic Drawings of Lights Pictures « on: March 08, 2008, 12:43:36 PM » Author: TudorWhiz
This is where you can put links of your drawings of streetlights or light bulbs or wiring diagrams....

Do not put any drawings in the gallery....

The drawings can be hand-drawn and scanned, or computer photoshop drawn...Use your own webpage to post drawings, and not in the gallery.

Thanks

Not really mine, but I liked these paintings. I think she caught the mercury vapor atmosphere perfectly in the two paintings at the bottom of the page.

I made a sketchup model of an old fluorescent street ligt made by Schréder. I have seen it once as a kid, so I do not remember the details. I only know that it is very rare and high on my wanted list ;D

If there are more people who have seen this lantern, I would like to know that!



I think it is the single tube version of the lantern you can see in my avatar.

@RetroRob: I think design with bare lamp would be unusable with todays T8 lamps, as these are designed for higher temperature, so they would run too cool to be efficient.
What might help is some protection/thermal insulation sleeve over the lamp (and i think it would be necessary addendum to the old fixture in order to keep seals around lamp ends effective to protect socket contacts from the water)

I have made another sketchup model of an old fluorescent street light.



I saw these lanterns sometimes in Belgium (when I was a kid). It is probably made by Clarel.

I haven't seen it for years! If you have information/pictures about this lantern, let me know.

In two of my works of art on Deviant Art, I have done some some street lights in them.

http://tpirman1982.deviantart.com/art/Minerva-Cruises-The-Road-103913510?qj=2&q=gallery%3Atpirman1982%2F21127633&qo=503
Here, I've rendered lots of different street lights over Minerva's car at the top of the image.

Here, you'll find a couple of Silverliners in the background.

I've seen lights in dreams that I haven't seen in real life and I have thought about sketching them either in photoshop or with a pencil on paper. Most of them were fluorescent. I'll post some links when I do.

Anything involving weird EOL modes, T12 blackenders behaving like they're Altos, lamp lit at full brightness and no effect on the room, lamps bending and deforming "from long use over many decades" (fluorescents not MH arctubes) ...?

Here's a sketch that I did a year or so ago. It shows a London Trolley bus at the bus stop in the late 1950s, with a GEC Clearmain mercury lantern looking down on the scene below. The sketch is unfinished, but it's complete enough to show:

Here is an artistic google sketchup 8 drawing of a huge 1930s schoolhouse pendant fixture designed for 750-1500w PS52 incandescent lamps with E39 bases.
