What a beautiful installation! It's also the only conversion I've seen that will allow the bulbs to be changed fairly easily.

I found a used set on Ebay. Keep an eye out, they come up from time to time and usually aren't too expensive.

Cool you had all the stuff there then.

It was all so extremely well executed that I couldn't quite figure out why there (seemed to be) a shortcut with mounting the buckets. LOL

Good deal - I did not know that. It's not something you have to do very often, fortunately.
