installed the gec lantern

Finally got permission to install this on dads shed unfortunately it had to be on a pir so it has a 4000k frosted led fillament lamp in so it still looks like it runs mbf. The pir was in manual override for this pic.

Nice! A classic GEC lantern that's sadly vanishing from streets everywhere.

I once saw some pole mounted ones like this, fully restored and painted in a village near Warwick

Still something you occasionally see pole mounted out in the sticks, but even those seem to be vanishing slowly.
