Holophane Wellglass installed closeup

This Holophane well glass light entered the collection in 2019 iirc, arriving in a well used, but overall good condition, a shocker for the PW15 cause they only have to have the slightest bit of damp on them and the screws seize solid. Upon arrival, The Holophane was pretty much restored immediately, but ended up just being put away in storage.

It was very much a spur of the moment decision to strip down and restore it again, mainly due to the fact I really like it and it was becoming criminal that I wasn't doing anything with it especially having already restored it once, and being an unusual design meant even just keeping it in storage was a waste.

Over the course of 2 weeks I stripped it down before spraying the bracket and the exterior of the light hammered grey, the insides going white as it should be. Sealing the glass back into place with silicone sealant proved to be an initially really messy, but overall satisfying job, and leaving the sealant overnight to cure resulted in a perfectly sealed light once again.

Then came installation, and since it wasn't screwing to any battens on the small lamp shed, I drilled though the wood and screwed some machine bolts through, before bolting them in place with a large penny washers to hopefully help spread load. The hardest part about the whole job was actually wiring it in, but once all was done and I switched the outdoor switch on, seeing both come to life was another sure sign of a successful job.

Ironically the lamp shed is the newest of the four sheds I have, yet is now the second shed to have a complete electrical installation!
