Why don't they do the Selenium any more?

Would like to get rid of them as I'm not using them. 2 F40T12 fixtures and one 8 foot tandem T8 fixture for conversion to F96T12. I haven't used them in about a year now and considering I've started collecting street lights, I was wondering if someone would like to trade a street light for some fluorescent luminaires (about 3 and some modern GE daylight T8 tubes that went with the tandem fixture). Idk how I'll go about shipping them since they're very long so for now, I'm going to make them local pickup only. I Can pay for the street light(s). Not trying to sound mean or anything but I'd like to possibly acquire a 1950s street light like a gumball or something like that.

Fluorescent fixtures are free. Again, please remove this admins if it isn't allowed. I'd absolutely appreciate it if someone could take these off my hands.

I wonder if there's a version for B22 lamps, maybe 2 hook-shaped wires to hold the pins on the side and 2 screws for the contacts?


The E27 wire one would be safer if they put the top half of a plastic bottle on it

I have done something similar here, you gotta do what you gotta do!

I think that is quite innovative 😃, and in places like some parts of India, where you probably can’t just go out and buy a lamp holder it’s probably the next best thing!
Yeah it’s dangerous, but they probably don’t have a wiring code or a BS 7671 like western countries have?
Not a fan of the screws as the wood could get damp?, but the wire thing is quite genius thinking 🤔

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!

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.
