well I'm gonna  nickname them "piano keys" for now, until we have an official name!!

Some of the old columns near the entrance of the site and also the perimeter have been retained and freshly painted in a darker shade of grey to the bracket in the image above. The ZX3s are also still fitted to these columns (for the moment). There are no more QSMs fitted at present.

How about this, that I spotted at a store car park in the San Jose area of California.

shoebox lanterns with a difference! I know the spikes are bird deterrents, but I think thay add a bit of randomness to the installation!

Sotonsteve spotted these induction lights at a Jet service station on the A30 at Honiton Devon whilst we were out and about yesterday.

a neat looking low-maintenance fitting. Shame that more of these aren't around in shopping centres and other places.

I don't really know anything about induction lighting but it looks like a supersized CFL tube to me  

It is pretty much the same thing, in that light is emitted by exciting the contents of the tube, and then the coating of the tube absorbs the energy and converts it to light. Induction works by using electronic charges within a circuit that is in close proximity to excite the lamp particles by proximity, whereas fluorescent works by exciting the lamp particles through electrodes.
As the latter has to 'break in' to the lamp, as it were, this reduces the lifespan of the lamp - and so because induction doesn't do that then you have, in theory, a lamp that could last forever. In practice, the lamp will eventually dim and go out - but this will take way way longer than any other lamp to expire (may even outlive LEDs - though this has yet to be tested) and so Induction lighting is often used in areas that are hard to access, such as street lighting on narrow footpaths or lighting of fuel station canopies or the high-level lighting in shopping centres (and maybe those lights you get illuminating escalators)... anywhere that would be hard to get at.

(the actual induction technology is more complicated than I have described - but I only remember the fairly simple description of it!)

Thanks for your explanation Mazeteam  

I guess induction lighting must be expensive then or it's use would be more widespread with such an amount of longevity! Also, I'm willing to bet the light given off is of a better quality than LED (similar to CFL?) and yet the use of LED becomes ever more widespread!  

Induction lighting is a form of compact fluorescent lighting, just with a different method of generating an electric current in the tube.
