Hi All,
As the LED onslaught continues through Cumbria I have noticed a change in the photocells the council are using. The council have used Zodion for a long time, back in 2004 the Cumbria Specification blue photocell came out which denoted 55 Lux, then came the green cell in about 2009 denoting 35 Lux.
When the LED program started in 2014, I noticed a red photocell appeared, this was made by SELC and denoted 20 Lux, the SELC photocell was of very poor quality and now the council have gone back to Zodion (shows how bad the SELC was!)
I noticed a white cell making an appearance at the back end of last year, this denotes 10 Lux!! It's a shame that loads of lovely old lanterns and working photocells are being replaced by the new LEDs
Regards,
Andrew.
