That looks like it could be a very clever idea. This time next year you could be a millionaire

Are you making these yard lamps in Spain?

Only if I can avoid import tariffs.

Busy few days coming up : last day at work today, lamp prototyping tomorrow then Hornby factory sale on Saturday, fly to BCN Monday, F1 testing Tuesday and Wednesday, fly back late Thursday. Editing photos next weekend. One day back at work the week after then down to the MHR for the Spring Gala with the Bluebell Spring Gala the week after.

I’ll rest when I’m dead.

I'm out of breath now after reading all that Steve. It sounds like a fun week ahead. Enjoy.

Busy, but fairly straightforward - this is my 15th such trip in the last 12 years.

Top end of the prototype complete.

Excellent. Love it.

When you have finished do some for me --- please.

The gubbins in the bottom end of the lamp. I’ll add some heatshrink and pack the screw on cover on the lamp with some araldite for insulation and strength.

Tested and working.

I’m undecided about the chequered part of the plastic moulding so that may yet be removed before painting.

Blimey Steve, you don't hang about do you? That looks just the job. The base of the lamp post looks good too.

What is the overall height of the lamp?
