lighting

Just browsing some old photographs, and realised that given it's easy enough to pack a spare/light tripod, a way of mounting lighting on it would be absolutely brilliant. (Especially for the odd underground river or drain, where you may want to light up a branch but don't want to test out the...

i used to use a zoomable torch but now i find my self using a 500 lumen lantern what do you guys use when exploring dark places and any suggestions?

Photo heavy. Once again thank you to Birmingham's Hidden Space project for allowing me access, and the opportunity to test out my new XT10. Dweeb visited this site in June 2012 and Speed visited in June 2013, links to their reports should be at the bottom of the thread. Its changed a lot inside...

I drive past these towers every week and had often thought about climbing one, I decided that one of these would make a nice school night solo. My original choice of tower was a no-go, there was just too many people knocking about, so I headed for my "back-up" tower. This tower is one on the...

Had our eye on this one for a number of years but it was always very tight. However a few weeks ago some pointless scaffolding went up on the front to 'disguise it'. We did a bit of a recce and realised it would be a good way inside but lights were on and a radio seemed to be on the go...

I've had my eye on this place since I first moved to Birmingham. Originally a row of town houses, the building has undergone the usual transformation into a factory with typical period workshops to the rear. From what little paperwork I found inside it seems that Christopher Wray was once Landon...

After being asked to do this site an hour before going to a night shift the night before, I had little time to prepare and research. I went straight from my shift to Whetston, via McDonalds, with The Wombat to meet Yorrick. Yorrick recommended the site and this was my biggest and...

After a couple of disappointing fails - a massive facepalm from me as it turned out one site I'd had my eye on for ages had been demolished totally, and an interesting meeting with some lovely Horses during the other one me and Flubs headed to a couple of factories I knew to be still there - but...

Why is it that whenever I arrange to meet up with jST, he always picks some ungodly hour? :crazy So another early morning, 4 sites on the to do list, first stop Barnsley. 1930 Catalogue Source and more pictures CEAG moved into this site in 1936 and occupied it until 2006 when they...

Visited this Barnsley lighting factory with Muttley on our blustery S. Yorks / Notts whistlestop greasy cowboy tour. Fairly shagged internally, mainly around the un-interesting compartmented offices on the lower floors. It still holds some of that industrial charm and one or two little...

I found that there has already been a report of this site done back in 2008. The building was due to be demolished at some point in 2009 but as of yet this has obviously not happened. Here is a brief bit of history anyway, There has been CEAG lighting factory in Barnsley since...

Visited with blueprint and a non member. formality's: The Melton Road factory opened in 1946 mass producing light bulbs. At the time being owned by British Thomson-Houston. It later became part of AEI Group and eventually Thorn until GE bought the lamp division in 1991. The factory was...

Well here it goes and let me tell you its fucking secure well the main building is the outer buildings are a piece of piss and every few meters inside there is police tape, This was a late explore due to lostexplorer getting up late and being let down by others, I honestly didnt expect to get in...

Visited CEAG lighting with Rebel (formerly frontline81). The CEAG building is directly opposite Barnsley transport interchange and looks to have been vacated within the last 4 years. It produced its first incandescent lamps for miners safety lamps back in 1922, the list of what the company...
