You’re the only guy I see on UA-cam that uses automatic transmission fluid and acetone for removing Rusty hardware. I’ve been doing this for years and it works great.
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.
@@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
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.
... отличный газовзрывобезопасный фонать, к меня такой-же в бане висит, особенно нравится пескоструйная обработка, молодец мастер, здоровья тебе и удачи во всём!!!
Этот промышленный светильник воистину эпичен! И работа проделанная мастером соответствует. Отдельно хочется отметить бетонные работы и мастерство оператора и монтажёра!
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 UA-cam
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.
Bravo et merci pour la restauration de cette belle pièce d'origine française très beau travail elle est reparti pour une deuxième vie , 🙂👍cordialement. Nathalie France Normandie
Im really imprest what you did to this lamp. I found one my self two days ago from french be ship it to denmark. The condition of my lamp is really good not so much rust as yours have. 😊😊😊
hello and well done. many years ago i worked in the mechanics shop of a cotton mill in Lancashire. we had these lamps in strategic places where there were inflammable materials and they were called " Explosion Proof" lamps
Стояли подобные только под лампы ДРЛ-400, в залах модулей турбокомпрессоров на станциях охлаждения природного газа , на Севере Тюменской области, под самым потолком, ох и тяжеленные! ПРА стояли в таких же чугунных тяжеленных коробках , и устанавливались рядом ,обслуживание их было крайне неудобно
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!
where I work they swapped huge lamps with those bulbs to LEDs lamps. if I knew I could've saved those bulbs for you. they were nearly 20. awesome work.

It's a tip i learnt from my friend of cool again restoration channel 😉
I think brake fluid works better. It's highly corrosive.
I learned that one myself from an aircraft mechanic from WW2
Well atf is a detergent. But I've used it on my razor blades for my pocket knife many times. Great solution to keeping them less rusty
is this a newer fixture he accelerated the rust?

god i love old industrial aesthetics, i would absolutely use this for interior decor
That this still works. Amazing. People in the past did built things to last forever, today shit just breaks so quick.
There is a lot of work on this project, congratulations :-) love the color !
Thank you buddy 🍻👍
Awesome to see you here love your channel!
Every time I see content creators supporting each other it makes me smile. Keep up the awesome work, everyone!

I'm glad he put the arrow in the thumbnail, I wouldn't have seen the lamp without it.
This channel is like if Kiwami Japan was French and significantly less bizarre. I absolutely love it
thank you that you have saved the lamp!
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 !!
Very cool french stuff 🤩
I'll check back in 100 years when this lamp needs another restoration :)
... отличный газовзрывобезопасный фонать, к меня такой-же в бане висит, особенно нравится пескоструйная обработка, молодец мастер, здоровья тебе и удачи во всём!!!
очень интересно. какой у этого фонаря вес?!))
I love that something younger than me is considered antique! 🤣🤣 Nicely done and what an awesome addition to your outdoor space. Good job.
That must be an interesting phenomenon!! If only there were restoration workers for our bodies as we get older… 😝
Those were great days of the American manufacturing industry.
It's like an Excel car tub cover made to last hundreds of years. Wow!
Outstanding craftsmanship.
At first I was like "wait, where's the neutral on the plug ?" then I remembered you are in France. :) Great video and great restoration.
Хороший светильник
Ещё 100 лет прослужит
Хорошая работа
Good job. Thanks for posting.

this ceiling lamp is amazing, big and very bright, wow
hhhhhhhhhoooooooooooooo............... Que linda restauração cara !!!!!!!!! Parabéns .....
Two thumbs up! Great color choice.
Nice refurbishing project. Old things can still be used if you take the time to rebuild them. Thumbs Up!
Very good. Congratulations. Hugs from Brazil
Great job on antique factory lamp restoration old thing never die 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Браво маэстро. Спиздил лампу с фонарного столба и восстановил. Теперь повесь на место)))
Watched a few of your Restorations. Super Work. You French are the best at restorations.
Fantastic reno, looks amazing 👍👍👍
Спасибо большое за видео 📹
Великолепная работа ⚒ ⚒ ⚒
Лайк. 💯
Brilliant workmanship
The light bulb still works wow. Très chic, et bonne travail
Прекрасно.
Маленький совет. Перед вкручиванием лампы, ее надо обезжирить и устанавливать в перчатках.
Beautiful transformation!
Looking better & brand new on LAMP 👍👍👌👌
Thank you for taking the time to restore these old things.
Eine wirklich gelungene Restoration. Super!
Very nice work, a good word to describe you might be artist.
This is one of the best produced youtube videos I've ever seen.
magnificence of craftsmanship 🤩

Love this restoration!
Bravo! Great job. That is one substantial fixture. It deserved to be saved, especially by someone with the talent and expertise.
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.
I am an old restorer in the States. Don't know which I admire more; your work or your presentation. Flawless on both counts...
...и у меня был такой-же светильник в газовзрывобезопасном корпусе, отдал его в спортшколу где учится моя внучка, теперь там служит Верой и правдой!!!
Great job ! But wait , "Danger d'ouverture sous tension" ? COCORICO !!!
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.
Beautiful object and great restoration. I particularly love the attention to detail on the red information plate.
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 love that you gave the bulb a pat 😂 an 🇦🇺tshirt.
The way you edit your videos is amazing 🤩 also the job was well done 👏👍🏻 cheers Nic. 🍻
Thank you David, cheers 😉🍻

You did it again 😎 Wonderful job my friend, watching this vid like a movie. Where are your million subscribers ? 🤔
bonjour Nicholas... tu es français :)... ta chaîne est FANTASTIQUE... je suis portugais et j'habite à lisbonne... un câlin du sud
Можно в теплицу повесить . И светло и тепло да и влажности не боится.
Likely the very highest production values of any restoration video I've ever seen, not to mention the quality of the restoration itself. Subscribed.
Built quality of lamp is very solid.
Wow breath taking restoration as usaual good job
Great video - excellent choice and very satisfying.
Nice - Explosion-Proof light is what you need in a paint bay or hazardous place like that. - not just for decoration!
Was looking for a comment like this, definitely hazardous conditions luminaire with the threaded fittings and the sealed lens.
Marvellous! You turned that old rotten lamp into a new one. That's magic!
I love that! Wicked restoration :) ❤
omg. i love this so much. it turned out beautiful.
Love those old pieces of industrial design. You did a superb job of the restoration and I love your choice of colour.
Im really imprest what you did to this lamp. I found one my self two days ago from french be ship it to denmark. The condition of my lamp is really good not so much rust as yours have. 😊😊😊

Bien fait - this is neat - your work is impeccable
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.
А почему в пескоструй после шпаклевки, а не до нее?
I always think with these restorations, the history of the items. The things they must have seen. Neat to think about.
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!
greetings from the United States!!! Very cool French lamp ;)
You can't find these Philips lamps anymore .They are awesome and Timeless ,just indistructible and well made...🌟⚡️
Love you watching you from Saudi Arabia
Profesional work 👍🏼
NICE...I LOVE INDUSTRIAL LIGHTING!!!
Перед стопорными шайбами нужно было обычные поставить с обеих сторон 19:55
Косячёк-с
This was very interesting. Best electrolysis ever.
Now we have got some light on the matter, SUPERB Restoration friend, have a nice day & Stay Safe !!!.
This video made me speechless as always. Your videos are definitely a movie. Love your content, I look for it!
When you pressed the switch and the old bulb lit up, that was fantastic.
The fact that the bulb still worked after so many years is simply amazing.. proud to be a philips user 🤣
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.
Personally I'm just impressed the lamp still worked right off the bat even before you got too far into it. :)
Now that’s what I call a lamp! Definitely looks like it came from a factory or large building.
Yes, i tried to restore it at original as much as possible 👍
Another great piece. Amazing that the bulb still worked.
amazing restoration dear i love this
where I work they swapped huge lamps with those bulbs to LEDs lamps. if I knew I could've saved those bulbs for you. they were nearly 20.
awesome work.
Awesome restoration
What a restoration ! You are a magician.
😄 Did anyone else hear the mosquito at 13:11?
Beautiful job. I'm always amazed how much work there really is to be done! Well done you👏👏👍
Wow, a mogul bulb. I haven't seen one of those in years. I have a huge table lamp that took those.
Edit: It might actually be a Goliath base aka E40.
I think it's a E27 bulb and socket, Mogul being E39.
Looks great ⚙️
Demasiado excelente mejor que Nuevo. Saludos desde Venezuela Ciudad de Maracaibo
