Is this true or bull « on: April 29, 2025, 04:19:08 PM » Author: Eleco_SR304
Recently, on Mike Barford's survivor page in Warwickshire, I have realised that he has been to places were I've been. The more I look, the more I seen. I've also seen people telling them these lanterns, and these photos have been added after I added the images to my gallery. Some feels fishy. Is It true that people help him find the lanterns or people looking at my antique finds and telling him? I just want to know. Because something isn't right... I will be looking out  I'm not accusing anyone. I'm just want to know what's happening because something isn't going right... If I get the answer, thanks, don't worry. But I will have a look out

Usually I collect bulbs (Mostly LED) and some HID ones. I also own a couple of streetlights, but most are made in Poland.

However, I mostly prefer SOX bulbs. LED bulbs in their efficacy will never beat SOX bulbs, in my opinion.

Yes, sometimes Mike gets tips from people, but him photographing a lantern for his website is fine, the lantern isn't yours, there isn't a limit of one person to photograph a lantern. Also, he has credits on photos that someone else found. It seems like many of your finds are already known to other locals, and using this logic, you are doing the same as what Mike is being accused of...

The classic lights of Canberra are few and far between, this just means that I get know each one better!

Weren't you supposed to take a short break from the site, Eleco_SR304?

Not a big fan of LEDs… (except for indicator purposes).

Upon going through the survivors in Warwickshire on mikes website, I only recognise 2 or 3 locations from your photos, and Mike's photos oc these lantens are older than your photos.
