Post by Nicks garage »

Evening all, I have finally got my traffic light fitted in the garden, I’m made up with it!

Let me know what you think

Looks pretty sweet, you must be lying that your wife likes it though. Although I'd remove the ratchet strap. It might want to move somewhere, let it have freedom!

Very nice Nick. One thing I found with my lights is that I need to fit lower wattage bulbs as they're a bit too bright indoors. Yours look ok, but may be too bright in the dark.
Good to see them working though 👍

It needs the strap because it’s front heavy due to being shorter than it’s supposed to

The green light is fairly bright, I only changed the bulbs this morning, I had lower watt bulbs but they were not enough, it’s now dark and it looks perfect, luckily the bifold doors have blinds in the glass if I need

Just to add, they don’t look as bright as the camera has made them look
