Here's an open-view of Joe's 1930s vintage street light fixture that he has in his back yard. Please see the related and following related photos uploaded for further information. This photo is the first of a batch of Joe's vintage streetlights/displays as they look right now. These old lightbulbs ran in a series just like old Christmas lights. At low voltage apiece, but with a provision such that the rest stayed lit if one burned out. Individually these streetlight bulbs can be ran off a low voltage 120V transformer as shown here if they have a matching voltage and amp. rating.
