Thanks for your kind comments.
Here is my latest acquisition, which I'm sure you''ll appreciate.

It looks like it wasn't just the GEC which promoted its revolutionary lighting schemes on postcards.
As can be seen on the reverse, this example from earlier times is by another equally prolific manufacturer of the low pressure sodium lantern - Eleco.

Interestingly, the lanterns appear to be fitted to CU Avenue columns, suggesting it was either a relighting scheme, or the lanterns alone were to be supplied by Eleco from the start.
Furthermore, a quick peruse of Mr Cornwell's resources, indicates the photograph presumably dates from around 1938, as it had been also selected as part of Philips "Philora" promotional material of the period.
