    If you turn the daylight sensor clockwise, that locks it inplace

    Beer and SOX! Two of my favourite things!

      Replace the beer with a bottle of cheap cider and you have the evening street corner hand out activity of many teenagers from the 70's, 80's and 90's summed up in one retro scene.

    Nice 135w lantern a lot of these were seen with the GEC z9554 or wrtl z9554m lanterns. I miss them so much because if the wonderful red to amber warm up light show.

      Yeah you might like my Low Pressure Sodium Drive video I made, where I filmed all the last SOX lamps that were left in my area before they replaced them with LEDs. czcams.com/video/hIXHFpXth84/video.html

    Reminds me of the very common UK motorway MA50/MA60 by Philips

      Got no bulbs just the one lamp in my living room.

    The beta 5 can power a 135 sox lamp for my bigger alpha 4 so if it can power one of them the beta 5 will have no problem powering a 90 sox lamp bulb and my 135 alpha 4 can power a 35 watt sox with out causing any damage to the bulb so all good......

      MrJoshiej does your Philips MA 50 have a ballast in it because my one just has room for the bulb also do you know where you can get ballasts for these online.

    • @MrJoshiej
      @MrJoshiej Před 5 lety

      Hayden Bray no it doesn’t have gear you can get the ballast for it off eBay
