At the Glasgow meet I was given a few different SOX (low pressure sodium) retrofit LED street lighting lamps. One was faulty, so in this video I fix it.
I think the reason the lamp didn't light immediately after the fix was down to me apprehensively putting the plug part of the way into the socket and not making a proper connection.

This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.

I still see these when I go through Glasgow.
That’s got to be one of the worst retrofits I’ve seen, I’d have just popped it on 4kv lol
They look like oxy acetylene tip cleaners to me Clive! Just saying.
Rite Big Dude, The other day was doing a bit of desoldering and some of the leads had a fair bit of solder on them and were a wee bit long so decided to cut the back with flush trim cutters to ease dwell time and the compenents to my suprise came out with a bit of a pull! I have just tried this with a CD40099BE chip! and the same thing happened. Conclusion, won't be doing much desoldering from now on!!! TFS, GB 🙂
I love and rather miss that lurid yellow sodium vapor color. We used to have them all over the place but now they're all being replaced with those god-forsaken cold white LED streetlamps. The streetlamps still aren't as bad as the LED security lamps used by businesses, especially warehouses and storage units. Those things are like micro-suns. I don't know how it is in other places but there seems to be little or no regulation on lighting blinding drivers at night.
LEDs destroy human fertility fact!
That keyring with needle pins is for cleaning Propane gas flame cutter or welding type nozzles. Like the pricked tool used on the nozzle of old Paraffin stove
Those "PINS" aren't coated… They're pressed and are for unblocking nozzles on oxy acetylene burning torches. They are basically small round files.
SOX replacement? More like "replacement SUX."
Sorry! Lol
Hello, I couldn't say, that better myself. I repaired
A, music cassette tape, and many more.
The pin set look like acetelyene torch tip cleaners. I use them for my torches of course but they are handy for your purpose. I have used them to clean orifices in air filtering equipment as well.
Dear Clive. I believe those tools "files" on the key ring you have are used for cleaning torch tips also.😁
