Rusty Revo 80w Bayonet Cap Fixture
|
Here you see a rusty Revo 5-foot bayonet cap fixture. This was bought (rescued!) from an 'upcycler' lady who said that, if it didn't sell, she would have used it as a planter!
This is going to stay just the way it is for now, no paint. I've serviced it, rewired it and replaced the dead 4-pin starter and socket with a 2-pin. It's now fitted above my work bench & will be used regularly.
I've taken out the vintage Cryselco Daylight tube that it came with and fitted a BNOS (1974) Philips 80w White, which I have plenty of.

I could probably weld some gears onto this, or an old pressure gauge or some crap and sell it as 'steampunk' for £795 lol
If the current appearance suits then just leave it as is, inside and outside (and accept that it will give an 1/3rd less light, which is not that bad tbh). If not subjected to the elements it won't continue rusting in any noticable way
