One screen to send you to sleep and one to intellectually stimulate and entertain ;)

I love snooker and used to play it very regularly years ago on a full size table but every time I've tried to watch it on TV.... ZZZZzzzz

Cricket does the same... And F1... Very soporific...

Honestly, the FCF does indeed entertain and intellectually stimulate me... A wonderful oasis in a crazy world :D

Looks like you've dug out some of your widest flared jeans from the 70's Jim on that pic.

A rather prettily misty morning in Paggers caught rather nicely in the street lights :D

Photo taken at 04:50 this morning during my lockdown exercise...
I'm misty, and too much in love

Street lights are not LED but are high-pressure sodium ;)

I like a drop of song lyrics in photo titles Jim, good work :-D

Do HP Sodium start yellow and go white Jim. One of the decidedly yellow lights I photographed I noticed when I was passing the other day is now bright white....so its either been replaced or it was just warming up when I took the photo :-D


This was a few weeks ago....now its bright white.

Good on you spotting the song lyric there Neil 🙂 It just seemed very appropriate for my love of the morning, the scene and my adopted hone town 😃

HP sodium start yellow'ish but not for long before going a bright bronzy-white. They offer a bit of colour rendering against the almost total absence of rendering in their low pressure brethren... Those in the picture are in special custom lamp standards and don't lend themselves to LED conversion very easily. Two are currently faulty and have been for a while. It'll be interesting to see what happens to them...

The lamp you show looks like a low pressure sodium to me.. If it's now pure white with good colour rendering, chances are it's been converted to LED. If it's bronzy-white it's likely to have been converted to HP sodium...

Update on our XM stock, the red one at the r/h end seems to have dissapeared completely. The 406 is the only one that's ours, been there about 10 years and it's still dry inside!
