The Lighting Workshop


We were recently contacted by Peter Ransom, who works in the theatre/TV lighting industry. Take a look at his website, the Lighting Workshop, it provides a free source of information on lamps and stage lighting. He tells us that, over the years, he has accumulated quite a few sets of Christmas lights. With a reputation for having lots of interesting sets, friends and neighbours started giving him their old lights (in the days before eBay). "As a result it become a bit of a hobby, so I thought, why not start putting photos on the web? So I did". Here is Peter's "All Year Christmas Lights Page". Our favourite is the Sputnik Lights set!
