[@fausto3118]

@@gregallsmagic a lot of parts here? It's just two screws and a light bulb! The work done is really nice , he's really good at it. Personally , i would have re-used the original bulb with the filter like james has said. It's a vintage lamp , the led makes no sense. and that switch with hot glue isn't going to last so much. what a pity. His skill is awesome.

YES!! I've been wishing for a professional pinstriper for all of these folks restoring and painting magnificent antiques because the lettering doesn't stand up to the rest of their work.

[@eve128]

I can tell you like those from the fancy lighting in your intro. To be fair tho, thats a pretty fancy light you got there.

[@AuskaDezjArdamaath]

To me, all these projects look like lost causes at the start. So rusted, worn and abused, it couldn’t possibly be salvaged, let alone restored. And yet, every time, you work some kind of magic!

[@DiodeGoneWild]

Only the original lamp! Even a warm white LED is nowhere near the incandescent color.

[@dancoulson6579]

I second that. Incandescent all the way. LED just looks wrong in this type of application.

[@Shawn_the_Protogen]

@@dancoulson6579 Agreed, while I prefer LED for its higher lumens, this is too classy to have modern tech for a bulb.

[@ZENERVOLTAGE]

Hey it's DGW in the house!!!!! You're amazing!!!!! One of my favourite KZbinrs. Hope you're well my friend. Watching with your fire extinguisher ready!

[@GuiSmith]

There are really good LEDs with the right luminosity, although they’re smaller than the normal bulb and don’t have the same visible filaments.

[@dl4784]

Better with the old bulb

[@ShadowLad013]

Watching restorations like these always "brightens" my day

[@NoNameO7]

these videos always *brightens* my night

[@serenity6415]

One of the reasons that you and my mechanics are my favorite restorers is that you don't use fast forward. A bit here and there is ok, but it's much more relaxing to watch you move at normal speed, but just a bit of each step. Fast forward is more jarring and hard to follow sometimes. We don't need to see them unscrew all 6 screws, for example. I'd much rather watch one screw undone at normal speed and then jump ahead to the next stage. Keep up the amazing work all around!

It will barely be 80% accurate. From far away the real Titanic and T2 may look alike, but up close the differences are huge and numerous. I'd say, it's about 50% identical to the real one.

[@Sean_IR]

Wow! Nice restoration. I was wondering what about the red lens? I would have preferred the battery glued under the top part and might have a small USB charge port too. Maybe added a small rubber seal between the top and bottom. This lamp would be an excellent camping or sailing lamp with extra storage in the box below. Hope to see more. Thank you. Great work.

[@maryloumenning3487]

Sticker on the bottom, please. In my opinion, it ruins the look of the antique you are restoring. Also, would love to see the red plastic back inside the dome. Nice job, as always. I very much enjoy watching your videos. For some reason, they are very relaxing to me.

[@user2C47]

It is not restored if it does not have a sticker on every side.

[@nachoz1890]

Yes, totally agree, stikers should not be there

[@davidjackson9317]

I think it's fine for him to put a sticker on the side. He is restoring the item, after all, usually to a condition better than it was historically. Not every antique has to look like it was salvaged from the garbage.

[@StuartDocherty]

The sticker totally ruined the whole project... it doesn't fit at all with the idea of resoration. If the sticker MUST go on then put it on the bottom instead of totally ruining the lamp!

[@dtownbigalva]

Not only is it his choice but I have to believe that this helps (and background logo too) when the video is shared on other social media when credit isn't given.

Small LED was the best. What happened to the red lens?

[@venopsis]

Same opinion for the small led. The light is really great instead of the big led who only lights up the top of the plastic part.

[@pablocoello7930]

I think the red lens would've brought out the age of the lamp and I personally like the red lens and the regular light bulb. Classic is always in style

[@dennissvensson6051]

He could have used a led with a lower K, 2200-2500K would probable give the same light as the old one, I guess the current led is between 3000-4000K.

[@pd1jdw630]

I agree. And yes, what happened to that red part?

Not to focus light, to make half of the light red and the other half red. More then likely the white would be forward facing and red rear as a form of direction indicator.

Nice work.. like the small led light bulb. Just be careful with the lipo battery you need a low voltage detector

[@TheRogueBro]

Really depends on the battery. Quite a few have voltage protection circuits built in. And being (what look like) an RC car battery pack, it most likely has this.
