Hi Jaye, Where I use to live as a child the road behind me had these Phosco P224 with the 35 watt tube on CU concrete posts these were fitted in 1973 the road where I lived on had the same concrete post with Phosco P125 35 watt these were fitted in 1970/71. Today nearly all the CU concrete posts are still there but all fitted with LED lamps rest of the poles are steel. Nice to see one in working order again, Take care
I miss the yellow glow of these LPS lamps lighting up the night. As a child I spent many evenings watching the one outside my bedroom window warming up. There is something nostalgic about comforting glow of them coming through the curtains. In my neighbourhood they were replaced with fluorescent lighting around 10 years ago. While the fluorescent lamps that replaced them have better colour rendering than the monochromatic LPS, they do not compare in efficiency of lumens per watt thanks to their average wavelength of 589.3 nm being almost at the peak sensitivity of human vision. Neither do they spread light nearly as far. It’s ironic that they were replaced with fluorescent lamps considering that even they are on their way out now. Thanks for the vid!

Reminds me of a Cybertruck/DeLorean Style.
