Crompton Robust
Another popular bulkhead, the Robust was one of Cromptons more renown bulkheads. It could be used with SOX (18w or 35w) or fluorescent (twin or triple 8w) and came with clear or opal covers. This example features the former.
Obtained 3 years ago from college, it was very badly neglected with green mouldy water inside, rendering the original ballast knackered. With a new ballast and a rewire, and a much needed overhaul, it came up extremely well, however recently I gave it another rewire with wire salvaged from a scrap Crompack, and an addition of a starter socket, to give the hard of starting SOX lamps a chance of striking.
