Bulkheads that were installed, pt four
Back in 2012, my bulkhead collection had grown rapidly, I decided then that it was time I installed them and displayed them. The shed in question was built as a supposed playhouse when I was 6, which ended up being used for storage. Later it became a small workshop for my soldering bits and bobs, later returning to a storage shed. 

All these bulkheads were installed on the 17th March 2012. It took me three days to fully install all the switch gear and bulkheads. it took me an hour just to lamp and refit the shades to all of them. Attributed wattage was 794w. most are CFL as well, so the lumens output was incredible, especially for a shed of this size. If memory serves me correctly, there was 45 bulkheads controlled by 27 switches, thinking back it was certainly a rats nest of wiring.

4 years later, I removed them due to the sheds condition deteriorating beyond repair. The damp has took its toll, completely rotting a whole wall out, and a few of the thicker uprights holding the shed up. Its certainly stood the test of time though, surviving 18 years of the elements and whatever i threw at it. All the bulkheads are now in storage awaiting the time I can hopefully reinstall them.

It is a Holophane Widerlite, unfortunately something smacked it while it was installed there and wrote the cover off, so I need a replacement now Sad
