So the M25 the Urbis Sapphires on the northern section were being replaced in 2021
But between driving in early May 2022 and early February 2023 virtually no significant work was done,possibly because of Manufacturing shortage with the only places I noticed change was the CU Phosco p861 near Bell Common Tunnel that were twisted sideways
(Possibly done by Storm Dudley or Storm Eunice in February 2022) were fixed and facing downwards.

and some of it replaced as the junction was rebuilt.

Where I would say about 70% of street lights are now LED.
Holophane V-Max and S-line are also used near J16.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/LKvb2nC8WKUsqAJ86?g_st=icThey were previously used near J28
https://maps.app.goo.gl/A52RJke2CqJVd7226?g_st=icPhilips Milewide also still survive this could be the only place they were used on the Motorway network.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/3o2vPs6hefVkjWnn6?g_st=icUrbis ZX4 haven’t been replaced but lanterns north of them have been replaced with V-MAX
Lanterns anti clockwise are still Sapphires.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/Nq2Gfdno1EhMsyXQA?g_st=icThose Floodlights also still remain.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/eTWjJQBsW7X7cHRM7?g_st=icBut the lanterns around them are all S-Line
Wonder what would replace the ZX4s and the floodlights.
More ZX4 plus a replacement Iridium still remain.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/L6sS6xkybJZmnyaW8?g_st=icCU Phosco P862 were used further along
Those Sapphires are all replaced.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/671iqgw3YE7HVc4F8?g_st=ic Strange that P862s were used and not P861s like futher along or P860s near the HS2 works junction.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/mizwpWyDNimGdN1s9?g_st=icAlso this small stretch of the older surviving GEC? lanterns are now all P862.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/16azJgDbP5GXe9eu8?g_st=icNear J27 (M25/M11) and further along, the Sapphires that previously have only been replaced on one side of Motorway have been replaced on both since.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/P2WUtuXVAfW1pqoy9?g_st=icOn M11 the Iridiums still remain.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/sXiaw3Uudn8fpWy68?g_st=icJ23 (A1M/M25) to J26 Is still mostly Sapphires.
Over to the A1M and the SOX installation near Hatfield is still going strong apart from the lights removed a couple of years back.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/RxakRB5Kz6NyXv927?g_st=icNow to the southern section of the M25
Where a few possibly failed Trafficvisons were
Replaced with Philips LumiStreet gen2.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/5BhfGHooMs5hmFmk6?g_st=icSince Junction 10 (A3) is being rebuilt this meant columns supporting SGS 204 in the central reservation were removed near the junction.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/8kAct4wAMEuqKXYy9?g_st=icOn the M4 Near J5 Slough three columns with SGS204 still survives after the (not so)Smart motorway works as well as some Alpha 8.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/dDCpBHVhJ1bvemwe6?g_st=ichttps://maps.app.goo.gl/nrbgqW78j31NYjUC8?g_st=icAnd some Iridiums.
