Holophane Module 600 labels
Removed a few weeks back, and subsequently saved, this absolute monster of a bulkhead, a Holophane Module 600, for 400w SON lamps. It came from the former Walsall Market, and was once one of five that lit the area. The area has since been redeveloped, and by the time we eventually removed them, there was just two left. Of those two, this was the only intact one. It was originally mounted on a ten meter column, and was attached to a mounting plate that was just as heavy as the bulkhead itself, believe me it was no easy feat getting it off and into the bucket. The bracket was taken off, as I prefer these wall mounted.

Upon opening it, one of things that I noticed was the label, confirming model number. one thing that took me back though is the lamp manufacturers mentioned, Thorn, Wotan and even Iris, proving the bulkhead really is as old as it is.
