Hi Colin, Phil & James, Just a quick "Thank You" for the I.D's to the USA lantern pics. I've got quite a few pictures of lanterns I have found on my travels...
Hi Mike, I'm wondering when the post-top XGS104 was first released. There's only three in York, but more in Leeds, and they all look no more than 10 years old....
Hi Davy, Nah, we just stick a large magnet on the meter! ;-) As you say, public lighting supplies do require energy payments - they're not usually metered as...
HI Phil Hard to tel now when I erected a Lighting column I just asked the council, they say it's no problems as long its under 8m and it's not within 5m if the...
Hi Chris I have a old Philips Catalogue from 1988 the XGS103 and XGS104 are shown as the older MI26-PT using the new 26w SOX-E and 35w SOX Lamps, and MI36-PT...

Hi Phil, I simply went ahead with installing my one and didn't let anyone in authority know - four years down the line and no one has complained yet! As Colin...
What the heck's wrong with some councils? In Houghton Regis, near where I live, they're replacing almost-new 5-metre Stanton 20s despite there being nothing...
... Where's the sense of ... I know the feeling. Southampton has replaced columns less than 10 years old in the past, prioritising them over concrete columns...
Phil, This is an absolutely crass idea and totally vacuous. If you lived next door to me and installed such a thing, and it transpired that it illuminated my...
I find the priorities of Lancashire County Council something of a mystery, too. They are replacing what appears to me to be a perfectly good installation on...
Hello Colin, I would like to inform you (if you didn't already know), that very thankfully for all the rest of the general population, your views are very much...
Dan, No, I will not leave. I am entitled to my opinion, and I know that some of you will not always like what I have to say. Sometimes the truth hurts, but it...
Thank you Colin I am very pleased that you offer an alternative opinion to alot of the group. I am a lighting engineer, and as such would have ensured any...
Hello all Here in North Yorkshire we are replacing all the concrete columns. Many Stanton 20s and other makes have been tested and indicate potential failure...
Colin, I wasn't aware that anybody had asked you to leave. You are entitled to your opinion, but by the same token, the majority of this group are entitled to...
I've rescued a big old GEC lantern from a factory that one of my freinds was demolishing (there are some more, but the rest of the factory won't be coming down...
Hi Nick, Another Clearmain - excellent! I have repainted mine into a silver livery, although I now think that the factory colour would have been a dark red - a...
I think the red oxide must have been an undercoat. I remember Clearmains generally being a silver grey colour. There's a surviving one (or was a couple of...

Up in Edinburgh, most of its relighting up to now has been achieved by adapting existing installations, in particular on the main roads, by shortening (or...
I've seen modern SON lanterns on old 50s and 60s concrete lamp posts, and I think if the lamp post is still in good condition then why replace the whole ...

You will find the odd green one, for example the post mounted example in the middle of Settle, where it's been finished to match the column. But it would be...
