Image Description: Possibly the last photos of these lanterns before they're removed... These lanterns are mounted onto 1940's/50's Revo columns with Stewart And Lloyd brackets added at a later date, possibly when the Turtles were fitted. The lanterns run 250w SON-T lamps, and a few of them are missing their bowls... it should also be noted that some lanterns have grooved type bowls, whilst at least one has an earlier bowl with a white diffuser spot below the lamp. As part of North Yorkshire's recent contract to replace lighting stock that has gone beyond it's service life here in the largest county in the UK, these installations are giving way to modern columns with post-top Philips Iridiums fitted. At present, the replacement is for High Street and Mill Bridge, but it will move on to other areas - there is a back street nearby with an old top entry mercury lantern, and a new column is standing beside that already.

At the time of visiting, only one new column was working, but others have been installed and are awaiting connection. Also shown in this image collection is a photo of a new column replacing an older one with an unknown lantern fitted (possibly WRTL, as it looks like an ugly brother of the Vectra!); there is also a photo of a casual replacement outside the library, where in the recent past an Iridium has replaced a Turtle on the existing column.

At the moment I don't know the power wattage of the Iridium replacement... but I think they're 150w.
