I salvaged this as a kid, it was in a huge internally lit 3 sided box sign, in a triangle shape, with a huge number 2 on each of the 3 sides, it was an old bottling hall line overhead number sign, found in a derelict bottling hall. Both tubes were smashed, but it was the first time i came accross 15 watt T12 tubes, the lampholders are T12 caps, a good instant start unit, dating from the 60's i recon, put into good use

yes, they are hard to get now black enamel adaptable boxes, wonder why, thought that was a common sort of item? or am i living in the past lol

Living in the past me thinks this is why I like doing maintenance as all new installs are just cheap throwin in as quick as possible T+E shit some of the new installs are utter shit Phil! Rare you see anyone bother with galv even these days
