Recently a member mentioned using his 100 year old Yale light to fix a 2 year old dishwasher. Such irony, right?
I put batteries in two fun old lights I used to think were fabulous considering. One a nickle plated 2D miner light by French Ray-O-Lite with a bifocal dome lens. I put a #222 bulb in it to take advantage of the "throwey" part of the lens. The other an old chrome plated Franco 2c with a dome lens that acts like a lamp magnifier making it put out a nice bright circle with perfectly evenly dispersed light.
The tailcap used to be works of art back then.
The 222 left and a standard globe bulb right
The bi-focal "optic" on a big head light.
100 year old turbo-head.
I really like these switches but parasitic drain abounds… big time.
The 2D wall shot.
Imagine using that in a cave.
Easily spot objects 35 feet and more.
The 2C is a pure flooder.
Would've been an awesome light for a plumber.
I have some others but tarnish has them non functioning at the moment.
Next walk around the block I'll carry that old Ray-o-Lite.
