These are my Favourite Lanterns, I have one with 80w Gear with Photocell, and a 125w version without a Photocell, (Possibly Group Switched or used with timswitch), I have a ES holder in the 125w model which alows me to light Both a 125w Mercury and 110w Retrofit SON Lamp.

I wonder if I try to find out how to rescue these (if they are due to be replaced) I would just get laughed at?!
@Rich - strange! Didn't notice that before!
