Restoration - Have you ever seen such a light ?

[@claymore440]

Glad to see that you replaced the junk old wiring. Too many other restorers leave the old, unsafe, wiring in place.

[@VeradonaRestoration]

Ah, it's for a darkroom. At first I thought it was for viewing slides. The explanations/demonstrations at the end are very helpful when you restore something that is not familiar to some of us.

Nice work. brings back memories when developing negative BW films and then printing them, dark room, red light, vinager smell...happy self-developed photos at the end

[@VeradonaRestoration]

Yes, a beautiful feeling that has always fascinated me :) Thanks

[@nickbremner6274]

Well done Radek, a marvellous transformation from an unusable object into a fully functional darkroom light. I worked as a portrait photographer (until my accident) with digital cameras but I had to learn to use film cameras and darkrooms. We had to take pictures then develop and print them to pass our examinations but I've never seen a darkroom light with four different colours. It was nice to see Veronica too. I hope you are both well, and your children. Ahoj, Nick

[@Ragnar8504]

Me neither, although I did find exchangeable colour filters when an old photo store closed down in the early 2000s. I seem to remember that olive green was for early colour print papers but would expose modern RA-4 paper despite the light being so dim you could barely see anything. B&W printing was fun, colour not so much, I gave up after a few tries. I still have a complete darkroom kit for B&W 35 mm developing and printing but no space to set it up. Tinned chemistry almost as old as I am and some paper that's probably twice as old. My old secondary school still has a fully functional darkroom and offers courses, that's what got me into photo developing when I was a teenager, at a time when most people just dropped off their films at the nearest supermarket.

[@VeradonaRestoration]

Thanks for your story :)

[@VeradonaRestoration]

Hi Nick, I also saw this light for the first time. I renovated it for my niece, they found it fired and they want to have it as a lamp. Also as they collect various old items for me, I am happy for that :) Great greetings and hugs for all of you. Radek and Veronica

Wonderful restoration as always! Really like the old style of that dark room lamp. I had a darkroom in the mid 70's - only B&W was practical at that time - I loved using one of my parent's old "brownie" cameras and my own 35mm to take pictures and develop them. It was a great hobby! 👍

[@marcocateni9824]

Ottimo restauro di una lampada strana, mai vista. A dire il vero pensavo fosse una lampada da discoteca :D Un consiglio: per evitare la morte prematura di una lampada a LED, conviene sempre utilizzare un interruttore bipolare per alimentarla. Il problema con un interruttore monofase è che non sempre viene interrotta la fase attiva e, in caso contrario, avremo un passaggio alternato anche attraverso i diodi che ne riduce la durata.

Radek, the depth of your knowledge and detail of your restoration is amazing. Thanks to Veronica for her explanation and demonstration. I had suspected the two dark glass sheets may have been colors. Did you consider the color of the replacement LED bulb, specifically a warm yellow rather than a cooler white? Wishing you both another blessed week, gentle weather and restful evenings. Peace friends.

[@VeradonaRestoration]

Yes, each of the filters was made of two glass plates and stained inside. Since the light will be used as a lamp, I used a new energy-saving light bulb. But a good idea to use a light bulb with changing colors without filters.

[@sgeine]

Just a FYI on spray painting technique. When you make right/left passes I noticed you initiate the spray on top of the surface instead of to the right or left of it. You can see it the most at 13:26. This causes large paint droplets/uneven paint to hit the surface. You want to make sure to not initiate spraying over any surface to be painted. Spray past the surface or just don't stop spraying. You can see these large/uneven droplets landing all over the surface. For example at 13:39 on the bottom of the 4 strips. It's very noticeable even after painting over it.
