I need some OlD goose neck lights, I can find some on the Internet for some new one's. but I'm not pating 250 a pop for them. So I was wondering if anyone have some OR know where I can find some, I want to find about 3 16 inch or 3 23 inch, most of them where dark green, and you can find them on old barns or old gas stations, If anyone can help me out let me know? or send me an email. My wife is looking as well, and I drive truck so I can't check the garage journal every day, So email me [email protected]
THANKS Rex B.

No I don't but I'll tell you this, If I could make those things and sell for cheap, I'd be set for retirement.

Just keep your eye out for them, please?

Doesn't someone make repops already?

And something called Abolite lighting.

They're available but expensive. If somebody could make them at home and charge half of that, they'd be rich.

Look on Ebay, They have a bunch of them. I bought a nice one for $40 without the gooseneck but I am going to make my own. Another thing you might consider is Lowes has some white ones cheap without the gooseneck. You can make a gooseneck pretty easy with a conduit bender and you could paint them any color you want. Most are green with a white inside.

I suppose you could powder coat them, but real porcelain is expensive. Everyone keeps saying you get what you pay for.

Take a look at something like this

I primed and spray painted green - they came out great

 

[OIIIIIIIO]

there was someone on craiglist in MN selling the shades for $15 a pop...had a bunch...I picked up 3 shades with the intention of making them myself...I can't seem to find them on craigslist now...

 

[64dragnwagon]

I just bought another one on Ebay in great condition for $60. It has a new fixture/socket and wires and only needs the gooseneck pipe.

There are a bunch of white circa 1966 ones in this building, last building standing at America's most famous "dead mall", that store closed in 1978 or 9, but doubt anyone would be allowed to retrieve them as it's suicidal to go on the 2nd floor.

You can see them if you zoom in, now that the block facade has been removed.

IIRC, someone on here got the real shades and used conduit to make their own necks.

DoinicDenson has been reported for, reposting

That was Roger55 who did that. That is what I am going to do also.

Just keep your eyes open as you are driving your delivery truck around! I found the ones in the picture and bought 7 of them from the demolition contractor for $125. They were on a building in Pigeon Forge, TN that was being remodeled. I was on vacation and saw them working on the building. I went to a nearby Goodwill store and bought some old blankets to wrap them in for transitit. It was a tight fit to get all of them in my wife's car without damaging anything, but well worth the effort when I got them home and installed in the garage.

Google " American Fluor YL108-4 14" Round Barn/ Yard Light ". If you don't like the straight look, you can bend some conduit pipe and make a gooseneck. I bought 2 of these. put a coat of brown spray paint on them and they look great ....

Looks like HD is selling them for $45

I'm about to stick three of these around the outside of the house in galvanised finish, they are brand new and cost £45 each, Nordlux Luxembourg is the name. They also do them in copper, an aged finish and black.
