Decent range of garden lights

    Bought a place recently, have outside lights, stainles stell pedastels, about 21" tall and 4" diameter with a plastic sleeve protecting the bulb.

    THe plastic seal on one of them is cracked and has let in a load of water which, naturally, is tripping them all out. To keep cost down I think i should be able to replace the plastic intertior (i hope) but was wondering where to go to

    No literature on the lights in the place I moved into, so i've no idea of make etc.

    Any thoughts?

    As you can see it's badly cracked along the thread, which is making a seal impossible. So lots of water getting in= looped phase tripping out all the time

    For cost purposes, I'd ideally like to just replace the plastic insert.

    If i have to replace the whole light fine

    But not keen on replacing all 5 lights

    I don't recognise the fitting but it's a stainless steel bollard, try a Google images search, using its height in mm, stainless steel and bollard,

    You could try Google goggles on your phone too see it that pulls it up.

    Had a quick Google images search on my phone, pc would be better, got something similar in outdoor.ie
    Looks like about a 100euro fitting, I think you'll be lucky to get spare parts for it.

    Cheers, really appreciate that.

    It does look fairly simialr alright. Pricey. Yikes. I'll have a look to see if there is anyway to seal the plastic part and try again before forking out.

    Thanks again
