You’re the only guy I see on CZcams that uses automatic transmission fluid and acetone for removing Rusty hardware. I’ve been doing this for years and it works great.
@@OldThingsNeverDie- I hope you cleaned that bulb after touching it bare handed. The oils from your skin will burn it out super fast otherwise... And did you get a ballast for it so you could turn it on? Any grow store should have them
On paper this looked like a pretty straightforward restoration. But the more you tore it down, the more you revealed a lot of deceptively fussy and detailed nooks and crannies. What a great video. And I agree with Cool Again Restoration: great editing and camera work.
I think the most amazing thing is that the bulb still worked, amazingly. Goes to show you how well things were made back in the day compared to today, where things are made to be fragile!
Mercury lamps like those have an effectively indefinite lifespan. There are units from the 70s that have been on 24/7 and still output light, though at a greatly reduced brightness compared to when new.
We used to call these FLP Lamps (for Flame Proof Lamp) the whole thing is sealed from the outside air so there is no chance of any gasses being ignited. Great job again. New Subscriber.
So, first off amazing restoration, very satisfying to watch to say the least. When I first saw the thumbnail I was at first thinking it was an awesome looking mercury vapor fixture just from how the bulb looked. But, when you tested it to see if it worked I was surprised, it was indeed NOT a mercury bulb. I would LOVE to find a fixture like that. Amazing work and you got another subscriber.
hello and well done. many years ago i worked in the mechanics shop of a cotton mill in Lancashire. we had these lamps in strategic places where there were inflammable materials and they were called " Explosion Proof" lamps
The sounds and images are so clear. I feel so relaxed watching this video. I appreciate all of your efforts in restoring something back to a beautiful state, perhaps even better than original. Thank you so much for sharing. It's helped me to and my day positively!
Very well done, I appreciate how thorough you show your process from start to finish, including the materials you use and how you overcome imperfections/obstacles. I used to watch a show called "Rick's Restorations" (An American show about restoring antiques) and I always hated how they never showed the process, it was all just filler/b-roll of the workers using angle grinders to make sparks or the family arguing with each other. I always wished they would have shown their process but I suppose that's the difference between Reality TV and an artist on CZcams
... отличный газовзрывобезопасный фонать, к меня такой-же в бане висит, особенно нравится пескоструйная обработка, молодец мастер, здоровья тебе и удачи во всём!!!
An amazing restoration I learn so much watching folks like yourself take on these projects. Your attention to detail is spot on. BTW I really love the powder coating finish and color? Bravo!
Really nice restoration! I actually like seeing electrolysis used - it is great at taking off rust and paint on those large pieces. The powder coat looks great. The light is perfect for any neomodernistic post industrial home! 😆 Great video! 👍
Very nice job. I work with those fixtures all the time (new versions) and you did a great job. The small clevis on the top is for a backup chain restraint. You can use the main eye on the top to hang the lamp with its primary attachment. Again - nice job, looks beautiful, and kinda neat.
That nickel coat against the soft golden color is really understated and looks great, would have been too showy to use chrome and you knew it. Mapelec would be proud!
Этот промышленный светильник воистину эпичен! И работа проделанная мастером соответствует. Отдельно хочется отметить бетонные работы и мастерство оператора и монтажёра!
Very nice use of materials here. I like the Graphite Wax--it produced an excellent finish that retained and highlighted the previous wear marks and was a beautiful contrast to the shiny powder-coated housing.
You do such an amazing job I don’t wait till the end to click Like, I just do it straight away because I know the results will be out of this world 👍🏻❤️
Im really imprest what you did to this lamp. I found one my self two days ago from french be ship it to denmark. The condition of my lamp is really good not so much rust as yours have. 😊😊😊
Thanks, that was a fantastic restoration project and the effort in the detail was really great, such a pleasure seeing that finished work. Subscribed for future projects 👍🇬🇧
I finally found one of these too! An old LP200 anti explosion lamp from the 1940s. Most likely from a polish mine. Looks similar to yours. Can't wait to restore it and use it. Great video!
The production quality on this is insane 🤯. The tracking shots while you're working are next level. Do you know how old this is? How much would a new bulb have cost had the original not been working?

It's a tip i learnt from my friend of cool again restoration channel 😉
I think brake fluid works better. It's highly corrosive.
I learned that one myself from an aircraft mechanic from WW2
Well atf is a detergent. But I've used it on my razor blades for my pocket knife many times. Great solution to keeping them less rusty
is this a newer fixture he accelerated the rust?
There is a lot of work on this project, congratulations :-) love the color !
Thank you buddy 🍻👍
Awesome to see you here love your channel!

@@scthomas1982 You don't need a ballast on a 240 system.
god i love old industrial aesthetics, i would absolutely use this for interior decor

That this still works. Amazing. People in the past did built things to last forever, today shit just breaks so quick.
You can't find these Philips lamps anymore .They are awesome and Timeless ,just indistructible and well made...🌟⚡️

I am an old restorer in the States. Don't know which I admire more; your work or your presentation. Flawless on both counts...
I love that something younger than me is considered antique! 🤣🤣 Nicely done and what an awesome addition to your outdoor space. Good job.
That must be an interesting phenomenon!! If only there were restoration workers for our bodies as we get older… 😝
Those were great days of the American manufacturing industry.
The way you edit your videos is amazing 🤩 also the job was well done 👏👍🏻 cheers Nic. 🍻
Thank you David, cheers 😉🍻

I'm glad he put the arrow in the thumbnail, I wouldn't have seen the lamp without it.
Loved it. Restorations of small things are good, but once in a while, it's great to see big things being restored. That's one big monster of a lamp.
Saw someone uploaded this to TikTok but I’m glad that the OTND logo was in the background so I could find it here. Good stuff !!
The editing, the craftsmanship, the hard work... All of it is excellent. Great videos here

Likely the very highest production values of any restoration video I've ever seen, not to mention the quality of the restoration itself. Subscribed.
This channel is like if Kiwami Japan was French and significantly less bizarre. I absolutely love it

I'll check back in 100 years when this lamp needs another restoration :)
Beautiful object and great restoration. I particularly love the attention to detail on the red information plate.

Wow, you gave that lamp an new live! What a beauty! And it shines so bright! Thanks for that detailed and clear steps! What a work!

очень интересно. какой у этого фонаря вес?!))
Never ceases to amaze me how many parts are in one given item!! What a cool light and what a great job you did¡!!!!!!
Nice refurbishing project. Old things can still be used if you take the time to rebuild them. Thumbs Up!
thank you that you have saved the lamp!
Wow, what a fantastic job. It looks awesome! You brought old history to life again.
This video made me speechless as always. Your videos are definitely a movie. Love your content, I look for it!
At first I was like "wait, where's the neutral on the plug ?" then I remembered you are in France. :) Great video and great restoration.
Bravo! Great job. That is one substantial fixture. It deserved to be saved, especially by someone with the talent and expertise.
Watched a few of your Restorations. Super Work. You French are the best at restorations.
Very cool french stuff 🤩
It's like an Excel car tub cover made to last hundreds of years. Wow!
The light bulb still works wow. Très chic, et bonne travail
Wonderful! The cement casting part is even more wonderful 😁
Outstanding craftsmanship.
Thank you for taking the time to restore these old things.
It's an absolute pleasure to watch you restore anything!
this ceiling lamp is amazing, big and very bright, wow
This is one of the best produced youtube videos I've ever seen.
Another restoration done incredibly well. Excellent job.
I would not consider this an antique but it is a damn good restoration! 👍🏻
Anything one-hundred years old or older is an antique, but you're probably right.
Fantastic reno, looks amazing 👍👍👍
An amazing restoration I learn so much watching folks like yourself take on these projects. Your attention to detail is spot on. BTW I really love the powder coating finish and color? Bravo!
Incredible skill
hhhhhhhhhoooooooooooooo............... Que linda restauração cara !!!!!!!!! Parabéns .....
Love it! The way things were so over-engineered, is just awesome!
Really nice restoration! I actually like seeing electrolysis used - it is great at taking off rust and paint on those large pieces. The powder coat looks great. The light is perfect for any neomodernistic post industrial home! 😆 Great video! 👍
Now that’s what I call a lamp! Definitely looks like it came from a factory or large building.
Yes, i tried to restore it at original as much as possible 👍
Eine wirklich gelungene Restoration. Super!
Good job. Thanks for posting.
Very nice work, a good word to describe you might be artist.
Not only an amazing restoration but the presentation of your videos are some of the best I’ve seen. Great work! 🔨
Love those old pieces of industrial design. You did a superb job of the restoration and I love your choice of colour.
Very nice job. I work with those fixtures all the time (new versions) and you did a great job. The small clevis on the top is for a backup chain restraint. You can use the main eye on the top to hang the lamp with its primary attachment. Again - nice job, looks beautiful, and kinda neat.
Beautiful transformation!
I like your style! Creative filming and editing along with a great restoration!
Another great piece. Amazing that the bulb still worked.
Great video - excellent choice and very satisfying.
That nickel coat against the soft golden color is really understated and looks great, would have been too showy to use chrome and you knew it. Mapelec would be proud!
Great job ! But wait , "Danger d'ouverture sous tension" ? COCORICO !!!
Marvellous! You turned that old rotten lamp into a new one. That's magic!
Brilliant workmanship
А почему в пескоструй после шпаклевки, а не до нее?

great find on the lamp and good job on bringing it back to life!
I love that you gave the bulb a pat 😂 an 🇦🇺tshirt.
It's amazing how beautiful the lamp was once it was restored. Well done! Also, your editing is superb.
My First Video ive seen from you and i directly subscribed. Restauration Top Level.
So glad you posted a new restoration video. I like the way you do things.
That is so cool... it still works after all these years... can tell it was built in the days that things were built to last.
a masterpiece of workmanship .. great stuff
Absolutely stunning restoration, well done.
Great restoration! That light is a conversation piece for sure. Super cool!

That is one beautifull vintage industrial lamp and nice restoration. Thanks for sharing.
Another amazing and beautiful restoration. Thanks for sharing.
Great video. Love the way you apply the cement with the funnel, really good idea.
You are an artist. What an amazing job you did. 😍
Great work.
just incredible! love your art.
I love that! Wicked restoration :) ❤
magnificence of craftsmanship 🤩
The production quality on this is insane 🤯. The tracking shots while you're working are next level. Do you know how old this is? How much would a new bulb have cost had the original not been working?
A New bulb would have cost 25 € = 30 $ 😅
@@OldThingsNeverDie- That's actually not as bad as I thought! Large expense for a single item on a project though, haha
That is a heavy duty light. Color looks great.
