Help to locate light.

[Malcolm]

Hi all.
Would anyone be able to point me to where I might be able to locate something like the picture below? It stands about 700/800mm high and is bolted to the concrete base.
Thanks for any help.

Someone would be able to repair that.

It depends how similar it needs to be - post top lights are easy enough to come by, but if it needs to be more exact then you'll either have to trawl around reclamation yards or get one made specially.

I like that ornate as it is, it has an R63 or R80 lamp in it - the least ornate ever!
I say get it mended, if it’s down to brazing or spot welding then there’ll be someone local who can help.
R80 - what is the world coming to!
Edit - unless I’m wrong and it’s some sort of sodium lamp.

The only people that I know and might be able to help are Charles Edwards on the Kings Road and Christopher Wray, I think he made his money in the past by selling off old scrap lamp posts he bought cheap from London councils.

As per Westwood, any decent engineering shop should be able to repair/recondition it.

Hi. Thanks for all the replies, especially the funny ones.
The hinge to the door has broke and I can't see how it could be repaired. So the customer has asked me to try to find one similar. She is Indian and I did wonder if she had brought it over from there?

The Taj Mahal did have a lamp post go missing back in 1972............

Depending on the metal a welder should be able to repair the hinge then a wire brush undercoat and lashings of Hammerite.......

Thanks for all the suggestions. I will look into seeing if anyone could repair it, but where I am sited is 40 years behind in technology!
Adam & SWD great links, they look the kind of thing.
I will see whether the customer wants to go repair or new.
Thanks
Malc

Where are you based Malc as someone with a welder could re do the hinge unless its rusted to hell, nice fitting to be honest.

When I saw the photo that was all I could see, that bloody reflector lamp. Really annoyed me to the point I commented out loud to myself. Tell the customer off next time you are there.

I would be looking at repairing the broken fitting.
