But the thing is no one is that desperate for an E27 holder, proper holders aren't that expensive. A plastic one is about half a dollar and a ceramic one is two dollars

It's not about the wattage, but the voltage, which is probably 230. Wrong side of your hand and your electrocuted

Though the idea wasn't quite a bad idea, though it is dangerous with bare metal.

They use screws and bare copper wite to make an e27 base. The holders look so goofy and are probably dangerous 


I dont understand the language, but translating it says " it's just a 5w lamp, there's no issue"

Hello enthusiasts,

Buying lanterns at dba.dk gets impossible as foreigner. You need a MitID which only gets Dansks.
No idea why they want no trade in Europe anymore, so less market.
Here's my question to dansk collectors:
Could someone help me buying there lanterns?
If so please PM me.
Thanks and have a nice day!

Michael

Ironically there are a few cobraheads around here that have 50 and 70 and 100W HPS where residents have requested the lower wattage due to glare into their backyards or side of houses.  Sometimes they will use deflectors but sometimes not.  Those that have been swapped out for LED generally get the lower wattage LEDs as well. 

Any cobrahead with a wattage less than 100 watts, must be HPS and pretty cheap too. Mainly asking because I could not find any, on eBay.

👍

Sending you a PM shortly.

Alright, no worries. I might even be able to do it sooner, the M-250A that I'm buying from Francis in Ca it taking a while, so let me know when it'd work best for you.

How much would you want for the OV-15 (not inclusive of shipping and packing materials)?

Mainly because LED and HID lanterns have different requirements, an LED only needs to be able to fit a rectangular driver, terminal block, photocell and a surge protector in the gear chamber, as well as a flat LED pannel, with a heatsink on top. This is all very thin, and uses the minimum amount of material for the best performance, whereas a HID lantern body would have lots of wasted space and wouldn't get proper heatskinking while also using more materials, creating a more costly and less reliable lantern.

With that said, Philips did do an LED version of the Selenium and currently make a modified LED version of the Iridium.
