Although not quite on the topic of Richardson Candles and Revo Festivals, the Lion Walk Shopping Centre in Colchester town centre was recently refurbished, and I wonder if the spirit of the new lighting, if perhaps not the style, brings back happy memories for some people...
New candle-style lanterns have been installed in the main shopping precinct. These replaced
MBF-running globe lanterns so it's a white light-for-white light swap. Photograph taken in November 2010 (hence the snow on the ground).
And where the precinct narrows, wall-mounted 'candles' have been used! Photograph taken in November 2010.
I cannot guarantee they run fluorescent tubes - in fact I'd be surprised if they do! My money's on the LED replacement tube shown above, but if anyone can identify the new lanterns we may be able to get a definitive answer!
