Other manufacturers use plastic for the “T” bar
parts - NOT US! Soldered light bulb center pins are prone
to problems like overheating, which causes early lamp failure.
Loose contacts and corrosion will lead to replacement of the
entire “T” bar. This was the main reason why we
started making our own gaslight conversion “T”
bars in-house.
The “T” bar is
made of 100% copper, and all connected parts are soldered
by hand. The lamp holders are made of brass, and the center
contact for the lamp is a ceramic insulator with a brass center
contact. Dimensions are 10" tall by 4" wide.
All parts are non-corrosive, and will last and last!
The transformer we are using
is a UL listed resettable transformer. It is permanently sealed,
and contains a resettable fusible link which when overloaded
will protect against melting by opening the link inside. Once
the unit has cooled for some time (varies, typically 10-30
minutes) it will then auto reset itself and will once again
be usable. A green LED indicator light located
on top of the unit displays whenever the unit is operational.
If your transformer trips often, this could be a sign that
you have a short somewhere in the wiring.
The lamps used in the "T"
bar are standard, 17 watt automotive light bulbs which can
be purchased at any local hardware or auto part store.
The photocell is a sealed
resistor which senses light intensity - it operates as a "dusk-to-dawn"
switch, controling the power going to the lamps. This is a
solid state device which is very durable.
The Landscape Cable that we
use is 12 guage direct burial cable, which is designed to
be used for outdoor low voltage electrical applications. It
can be buried a few inches below the ground to hide it and
protect against the elements and from damage, and can easily
and affordably be replaced should damage or a short of some
kind occur.
This cable is NOT INCUDED in the kit, but can be purchased
seperately (every installation will require a different
length of cable). We offer two general lengths: 50 feet or
100 feet, however if you call in your order, you may order
as much as you need - priced at $1.67 per foot.
