Fluorescent desk lamp converted to LED and ruined. Should have left well alone!

And just for good measure, here's another from the same seller:

What kind of twat does that? 'The choke and starter which are prone to catching fire' what utter bullshit!

He could have at least included the old gear because not everyone wants a heap of shit LED link light instead of the much better original gear. I’m sure most collectors of vintage things like this prefer them original anyway! He would probably get more money for the lamp if it was original compared to a poorly done “upgrade”.

Then the seller making false claims about fluorescent gear...

Yes, any value that had from being vintage and original has gone as it's been trashed with a cheap LED conversion. What a twat!
