Landscaping with Glass Insulators, Low Volt Lights & 1963/64 Cadillac Coil Springs

[Jason Edge]

Not exactly Cadillac related but I am finding a good use for the many Coil Springs I have pulled off the many parts cars I have brought in:

I have been replacing my low voltage Halogen yard lights which pull 10 to 20 watts each with LED lights which pull 0.8, 1.0 and 2.0 watts on our many yard lights over the past few weeks. I have probably 150 to 200 of the old glass phone pole electrical insulators, and wanted to add them to the LED bollard lights, and found that if I use the heat gun to pop the black painted top dome off, I had a nice flat ridge to superglue the insulators to. Overall they give off a much brighter light with a unique lighting effect when up against a back wall. I also have dozens of coil springs from the 43 parts cars I have brought in and have cleaned and painted many and installed around the lights as a protector and yard art! I should have all lights around my garage and two parts sheds complete in the next couple of weeks. Needless to say I think it is different.
