You’re the only guy I see on KZread that uses automatic transmission fluid and acetone for removing Rusty hardware. I’ve been doing this for years and it works great.

I think brake fluid works better. It's highly corrosive.

is this a newer fixture he accelerated the rust?

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.

That this still works. Amazing. People in the past did built things to last forever, today shit just breaks so quick.

god i love old industrial aesthetics, i would absolutely use this for interior decor

There is a lot of work on this project, congratulations :-) love the color !

@@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

@@scthomas1982 You don't need a ballast on a 240 system.

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.

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.

Great job on antique factory lamp restoration old thing never die 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

I love that something younger than me is considered antique! 🤣🤣 Nicely done and what an awesome addition to your outdoor space. Good job.

I'm glad he put the arrow in the thumbnail, I wouldn't have seen the lamp without it.

Thank you for taking the time to restore these old things.

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 !!

It's like an Excel car tub cover made to last hundreds of years. Wow!

Watched a few of your Restorations. Super Work. You French are the best at restorations.

Never ceases to amaze me how many parts are in one given item!! What a cool light and what a great job you did¡!!!!!!

I'll check back in 100 years when this lamp needs another restoration :)

Nice work! And I just have to say... that bulb is comical. 😆 It's like someone handed the designer one of those little holiday window candle bulbs and said 'Exactly like this, but 1000% larger'.

this ceiling lamp is amazing, big and very bright, wow

This is one of the best produced youtube videos I've ever seen.

Very cool french stuff 🤩

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.

Этот промышленный светильник воистину эпичен! И работа проделанная мастером соответствует. Отдельно хочется отметить бетонные работы и мастерство оператора и монтажёра!

Beautiful object and great restoration. I particularly love the attention to detail on the red information plate.

thank you that you have saved the lamp!

Bravo! Great job. That is one substantial fixture. It deserved to be saved, especially by someone with the talent and expertise.

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.

Хороший светильник Ещё 100 лет прослужит Хорошая работа

Beautiful transformation!

Marvellous! You turned that old rotten lamp into a new one. That's magic!

I always think with these restorations, the history of the items. The things they must have seen. Neat to think about.

I am an old restorer in the States. Don't know which I admire more; your work or your presentation. Flawless on both counts...

Looking better & brand new on LAMP 👍👍👌👌

Another great piece. Amazing that the bulb still worked.

This channel is like if Kiwami Japan was French and significantly less bizarre. I absolutely love it

Fantastic reno, looks amazing 👍👍👍

Now that’s what I call a lamp! Definitely looks like it came from a factory or large building.

Likely the very highest production values of any restoration video I've ever seen, not to mention the quality of the restoration itself. Subscribed.

hhhhhhhhhoooooooooooooo............... Que linda restauração cara !!!!!!!!! Parabéns .....

Old tools die and they come back new forever

I saw in the last images this beautyfull lamp came from Amiens in France. What a work to make this thing travelling throw the time directly to the 21th century, it's so old and new now.

What a restoration ! You are a magician.

Now we have got some light on the matter, SUPERB Restoration friend, have a nice day & Stay Safe !!!.

Great job ! But wait , "Danger d'ouverture sous tension" ? COCORICO !!!

Great video - excellent choice and very satisfying.

Very good. Congratulations. Hugs from Brazil

When you pressed the switch and the old bulb lit up, that was fantastic.

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!

Brilliant workmanship

Loved this! The colour was gorgeous too. 💡

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 KZread

You can't find these Philips lamps anymore .They are awesome and Timeless ,just indistructible and well made...🌟⚡️

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.

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.

Wow, a mogul bulb. I haven't seen one of those in years. I have a huge table lamp that took those.

Можно в теплицу повесить . И светло и тепло да и влажности не боится.

Прекрасно. Маленький совет. Перед вкручиванием лампы, ее надо обезжирить и устанавливать в перчатках.
