Does that Alpha 1 work?

I thought those Phosco P160s were actually Alpha 9s at first! It's good to see that both the Tesco and Sainsburys installations look in good condition!

My local Lidl has recently been refurbished and the car park lighting has been changed from SON floodlighting to MH Philips Koffer 2s! This is the first time I've seen these lanterns in the flesh, they're better looking than Iridiums anyway I have to say!  

Waitrose in Christchurch also has a couple of Alpha 1s in its service yard.

Probably the only Alpha 1s in the whole of Dorset, until now I thought these never existed in the county!

Our local Waitrose has Two Thorn Gamma 6's both SON but one has a very yellowed bowl and now doesn't work so they fitted a new(ish) SON floodlight to the column See here
The other is on most days and is now leaning over because a car seems to crashed into the column at some point See here
Also they have fitted a SON wall light (Holophane wallpackette) and two newer SOX wall lights (Philips NGX 018) on to the pathway from the carpark to the main road This is one of the SOX lights

Most supermarket car park lighting in my area is the usual fare but at least Morrisons in Cleveleys use WRTL 2600s which is a bit unusual for a supermarket:

The columns are painted dark green - Safeway colours! Yep, this used to be a Safeway.

Lidl in Blackpool has MH Iridiums - and they wonder why I don't shop there!

Like I say I was quite pleased to find Lidl in Cleveleys opting for Koffer 2s instead after their refurbishment. Too new for Streetview though, sadly  

Tesco and Asda in my area have the usual Abacus Orions  

Supermarkets:

Tesco, Trowbridge: Abacus Orions (They all dayburn in the main carpark but some have failed, and never work in the Garage area.) These replaced Sugarcube lanterns on square columns.
Asda, Trowbridge: Thorn Lemnis lanterns replacing Globes
Aldi, Trowbridge: Tall shoebox lanterns
Lidl, Trowbridge: AEC MH lanterns I believe.

Sainsbury's, Bradford-On-Avon: Phosco P224s, Holophane QSSs, scabby Philips SGS203s and lanterns that I can't remember what they are but look like Orions. (Made by Holophane?)

Budgens, Hilperton: WRTL Vectras I believe.

Restaurants and Pubs around here tend to use floodlights.

Like this:



and this:

Yep, there are about 4 of those in the car park, some SGS203s that don't work and some QSSs!
