Update 9: e-rectin' a lamp post!!
I have most of the wiring done for the lantern bar an igniter. I have a capacitor of doom that I use to generate a pulse though so it's not all bad.
Also, although it's not visible here I got a dummy photocell to plug the hole in the canopy it looks pretty darn stealthy if I do say so myself.
I also got my bracket in and decided to try my hand at this whole up cycling idea. I had this tree trunk knocking about and thought I'd turn it into a column. Went OK but it needs some aesthetic enhancement. I'm thinking faux ivy might be a cool idea. No biggie since it was basically free to make bar the bracket. I originally wanted an outreach arm but that's almost double what a bracket costs and it would require a fairly deep hole be drilled to accommodate the mains lead. I don't have a torquey enough drill for that!
On the bowl front, If either Linear or Paul's able to post I'm more than willing to pay postage + a beer fund donation as mentioned in my last comment. Either one o' yas DM me when youre not busy and we can get the ball rolling!!

- Freshly wired with red and black for power and orange for igniter. All tri-rated wire.

- Still needs decoration to hide the mains lead and the bracket needs modding and painting but not bad.

- Standing proud!

- Day burning because why not.
That orange glow, officer? no, it's not a grow. I just have all my sodium lamps on at the moment.
