this lot was made out of some salvaged british coal board explosion proof tripple 4 watt cast iron housed light fittings i found under ground at an old derelict coal mine, its all the gear and lampholders out of these fittings. 2 sets of gear having 6 chokes, oddly at 115 volts, having to run them though a transformer 240 volt to 110 volt

Theres a lip under the shelf, so you cannot see any of the lamps or wiring at all when sitting down or when they are on, The chokes are under the bottom shelf, used 1mm black two core lighting flex to make the loom up. The lampholders are the original BLI rubbery plastic push on ones

Interesting, here i dont even use transformers as US voltage 240/120 volts. It can be connected two chokes in series with two lamps on 240 volt That how it theretically wired in USA. Cause the neutral carry the unballance load back to transformer. But if these are in pairs on 240 volt then it ballanced load.
