Looks a bit like a Phosco P107. Hampshire use SON and mercury P107s at many of the county's schools.



I've had a bit of a search and I can say it is most likely (60%) to be a Phosco P107.

Before Google SV came along this programme was always good for checking out what streetlighting installations were used around the UK.

I saw a REVO Sol D'or on swan neck on one episode! And they were moving from that street, that would be enough to keep me there :D

If that was me and I really had to move I would advertise my house for sale on here with that information as a selling point! I reckon I'd sell it in no time  :lol:

On BBC 1 right now is a film called Buster featuring Phil Collins.

The lantern which have been shown is a concrete stanton column (similar to the ones near me) with a GEC Z5580 attached.

Haha, the reason they were moving was probably because the area was due to be PFIed. :lol:

A Stanton 7B? Is it the finned bracket? If so, excellent combination! I wonder where it was filmed?

Anyone else notice the big white curved column/streetlights with what looks like an "integral" MH lamp on the end in South Africa from the world cup footage? They look "unusual" but quite contemporary.

South Today this evening reported on the Aldershot IRA bombing, and there was a good long bit of footage from the modern day showing an old CU 25ft arched and finned column with an Alpha 9 on it.
