PL Converter Faux-Westy Porch Light
10 Bucks worth of China Goodness...the fixture is a Faux-Westinghouse branded porch light from Ace...with a GE Biax 2700 K Warm White 13 Watt PL inside...although the choke fits inside...it's a rather tight fit and wiring is rather crammed as well,would be more comfortable if this was inside a much larger fixture....the thing hanging below the fixture by three wires is a Photocell,there was no were to mount it to the housing and it looks sloppy,works fine at night but we don't use it anyway.

nice remote PC. Razz Laughing Even thought this is under an overheng, I think the Gull pooed too much on the poor Form 109's head. Razz

Nice, although honestly, not good in safety....the wires are not weather resistant....A good idea is to add an outdoor box extenision and add this type of photocell onto the threaded holes on the extension box...then it will be a LOT safer! But nice attempt!

I didn't know they sold outdoor box extensions. Shocked
Form109   [Nov 26, 2011 at 09:40 PM]
@Jace yeah it's not the best saftey wise,i tried fitting the PC in the top housing but it's the square housing won't fit,they did make a more compact PC but i got this one because it was on sale. Embarrassed

i'll consider an Extension box even though this light is still switched and inactive.

@ Streetlight 98...i am not amused. Razz

Looks great !
what kind of camera do you have!? It takes good pics
Form109   [Nov 26, 2011 at 10:51 PM]
A Sony SLR is what i use for most of my pictures now.

Gull is very amused with Michael...

Aaron, Sony camera makes GREAT pics and Sony Products are very good...HOWEVER Sony has HORRIBLE Customer Service.....They also rip people off when fixing things....Never will ask for customer service again from Sony....

Gull's say doesn't count you stinky bird. Razz

Sony does make good cameras but we have Two Cannon Point-And-Shoot type cams,they take pictures just as Good as my Sony SLR,have a larger optical zoom,take video and are more compact.

Sony, great products but sucky service and spares prices are astronomical. As well really crappy software, most of which is properly called spyware.
Form109   [Nov 27, 2011 at 11:29 AM]
i've have yet to turn any thing in for warranty...and yeah their spare prices are through the roof,for example in my sony Stereo one of the circuits went out rendering the stereo without sound and to replace one board inside the 200 Dollar stereo was 100...i figured eh,not worth it.
GullWhiz   [Nov 27, 2011 at 03:21 PM]
I got some unhappy friends with their unhappy Playstation 3s and they tell me Sony said the warranty wasn't covered...most of the cases was when the Blu-Ray starts to stop working! Sucky service!
