I have an old electo/mechanical signaling relay I recovered from a skip, it's in as new condition, has clear glass on every side to show the internal workings, is a cube 12 inch square and weighs a ton! I'd like to fit a bulb inside it to highlight the workings but have no idea how to do it!

This is it Paul. It's a piece of railway history and much to good to be left in a scrap skip. I could go in with a cord via one of the 'Chinese Hats' (as we used to call them at work) on the top but that would look terrible especially as I want to install lamp inside the case to highlight the workings inside.
Thinking about it I may have to drill into the underside of the case. Any ideas of what type of lamp I should fit. It doesn't have to be bright it's just to highlight the workings, copper and brass etc. It will need to be 240v mains feed though.
It will be kept in the garage as my workshop lamp, somehow I cannot see the o/h allowing this in the house even if it will be a talking point to old railway grissers who may visit!
Apologies Trek97, I don't wish to hijack your thread🤐!

Why not route the cable up through the bottom near a corner and fit one or two led lighting strips. Either at the top of the case or vertically in the corner angle.
