Finally, a long awaited event is taking place on my street!
The late 1980's concrete CU columns with 70w SON ZX1s are going, to be replaced with stainless columns with LED lanterns.
Whilst obviously the loss of concrete columns is lamentable, I am certainly glad to see the back of the ugly ZX1s and SON lighting. The new order is already being installed a couple of streets away, and I popped over there earlier to get a couple of photos, with the councils own staff doing the work, no PFI here!
I was very impressed by the choice of column and LED lantern, very clean lines and looks great.
Close-up of the lantern itself, any ideas what make and type it is?
Right outside my house, all services marked up and ready to go..
I am away for a few days from tomorrow, so maybe when I'm back the deed will be done and the street will be lit by proper white light for the first time.
Mike.
