Hi there! I am Leo, a street light collector based in the midlands, United Kingdom. I collect and restore street lanterns and show off my collection in my informative videos! I aim to introduce more people to the very rare hobby of streetlight collecting as it is a very interesting and unique hobby. What you find here is unique content that can not be found anywhere else so stay tuned. In videos I also show off my collection of street lamp fixtures.
The Spectacular Failure of a Low Pressure Sodium Lamp
This 26W SOX-E lamp was received with a Philips MI26 street light (not the one in the video) and I decided to film it's EOL to post on RUclips.

How a Street Light is Replaced | Sodium to LED replacement
Does this fixture only appear with the bowl version in UK or flat glass too?
Do you know why UK has photocells on every streetlight fixture instead of a controller for a whole area?
How do you even manage to get an old street light in the UK? I'd really like one of the fluorescent or metal halide ones that are slowly being replaced with (dimmer...) LEDs. I think you're doing the right thing by replacing all of the electronics. That's exactly what I'd do. Oh, and a new photocell as well; I wonder if the photocells letting go is why a lot of lamps dayburn?
Im not from UK but if you know any website where people sell used products you could look there. Like facebook marketplace or similar.
Very nice collection! That is definitely alot of lanterns lol. Can't wait to see a video on you're new lanterns!
And now I am subscribed to your channel🙂
I like this
Also LPS bulbs when nearing the end of their life stay red and very dim, I have seen some stay with a red light and another sign that LPS bulbs are very old or nearing the end of their life will be a fainter orange light compared to a new bulb
Wow I have never seen LPS eol! the HPS lamps when they are eol just turn off and on again for a while and repeat the same until the arc tube burns out and breaks and blackens the outer glass from the inside due to mercury vapor leakage! I don't know if the LPS bulbs do the same thing ie it goes off and on again for a while
im geting a Urbis Sapphier 1 from fenori ci, hoping to get it next month. Also i hope my fingers will be ok from the death clip! I have got 5 in the collection including a Urbis zx1 flat glass, urbis zx12 MH flat glass, Arc 90 and a AC ford, my traffic vision is only for spares as its not working
Great video. I have one with the same oddity. I also have an FGS104 running SOX.
and not at the same time
MM beatful
never seen a high pressure sodium lantern do that before
It's low pressure sodium (SOX), not high pressure sodium (SON).
@@TheSpotify95 thanks for letting me know about that😀😀😀
so cool how you can hear the neon gas leaving into the main glass
QUICK GET OUT IT'S ABOUT TO SUPERNOVA /j
Would a SOX lamp that is flickering red continuously also be EOL?
@@JamMC Almost, it likely means it is about to give out, could be an issue with the gear aswell
@@LeoLampposts They got replaced back in April, I have a video of the lamp flickering from February if you want to see it.
Wow I've never seen an EOL event actually happening! You could hear the ignitor fighting hard to strike the lamp, but the arc tube finally failed allowing neon to escape into the outer envelope.
@@George_M55729 yep, it was quite the light show!
i've had tons of spiders in my Urbis Ampera mini 75watts that i had saved after a worker gave it to me plus it has been in service since April 2015 and had 2 false widows and 6-5 tini tiny spiders inside i also am making a video about my lanterns too.anyways how many spiders did you have in your gamma 6?🤟🤟🤟🤟
@@FinleyWiley-l8w just a large spider in the gamma 6, loads of dirt but it cleaned up well!
I've got one of these the exact same varient!
No you do not , you have the most common Variant the Z9538M.
@@Bensox135 its with owen atm
I'd give anything for them to bring sox back
Why canopy in your opinion is flimsy? This is decent quality material, but a bit elastic because it is polypropylene
I love the Thorn Alpha 1, they were so common in my area.
when are you going to do another streetlight collection tour
@@JOSHWILEY-j4w within a few weeks probably
Very nice lantern!
why did it take so long to upload? Love it btw
@@NoobVR-m8d had some stuff going on
Hello.
hello
what is the names of your channles
are you planning on getting an urbis ampera
@@JOSHWILEY-j4w Not planning on it but its not impossible, just depends on if i come across one
@@LeoLampposts ok
try and get a flat glass bowl for your zx1.
@@FinleyWiley-l8w I would do but I quite like the refractor bowl on it, that said my ZXU1 does have flat glass installed
@@LeoLampposts were did you get the lanterns and holophane s-line tho?
@@FinleyWiley-l8w The lanterns are almost all eBay purchases, the S-line was from a lighting store
cool collection, have you managed to snag that PHILIPS stellar LED lamp?
@@georgewills-ek1gg not yet as they arent really used much here so id need to grab one from a depot or buy one
1 year today!
Can your Vectra run 70w CDO-TT and SON?
I’m only saying that because I’ve seen a few videos of a vectra that can run both CDO and SON on the same ballast.
i think to do that it would need an electronic HF ballast, mine has an old magnetic one so while the lamp would likely run, it wouldnt like it
Are you ever planning on putting them up on your wall like Mike Barford?
im actually on an update right now adding all of the new ones, will be out on the 20th, oh and probably at some point but not yet
@@LeoLampposts Okay.
@JamMC the main issue is my walls arent strong enough to hold them, so id need to get them strengthened beforehand
@@LeoLampposts The outer walls or load bearing ones should be strong enough.
Great video. I’m trying to save a couple of these from a building that’s getting demolished.
@@Rainbowgamer1 good luck!
@@LeoLampposts Thanks
@@LeoLamppostsThe luck worked because I saved one and a GEC Z9536.
These Are On The A45 Between Rushden and Wellingborough Near Tesco They Have The Bowls On Them
There used to be one with zebra bowl in Sheringham but it has sadly gone to led along with a load of WRTL arcs. The arcs replaced some MA50s and some other SOX fittings. Street view shows it all going back to before 2010.
Nice
I love sodium lamps . Even the long fixtures LPS
Even I know that this one is HPS
I was growin' up when I was 6 yrs old, in 2011, I loved to watch them switch on .
These lamps are nostalgic .
I won't lie tho, I am Autistic and have Autism, middle spectrum, and I think that's why I fell in love with old sodium lights .
Hello! I was wondering if u know how to preserve an SOX lantern? And do u have any other thorn gamma 6s that i may have?
I only have that one gamma 6 currently, the best way of preserving/saving them is to contact your local council and see if they have any that are going to be scrapped
Hello! I was wondering how did u receive it. Like did u put a notice on the column/ tel. no. and email to tell the council to retain it or did u know people who work for the council. I have an SOX lantern near me im looking at preserving - any ideas how?
I purchased this one from eBay, but the best way of obtaining them is to contact your local council or lighting contractor in the area
Where did you get all them from? I would love to start a collection of streetlight but my room is too small.
@@The_Arrow_Door_closes_Guy usually eBay, but other collectors do sometimes give them as gifts. Contact your local council and see if they have any old lanterns to spare
Ok
Just to make sure if you do get it from the council, would you probably have to pay for it? Would it be cheaper expensive or does it depend of what area I’m in
@@The_Arrow_Door_closes_Guy they usually just let collectors take one or two for free
@@LeoLampposts thank you. I’ll see if I can get some cause I wanna start my own collection. I’ve love street lights for so many years now always wanted to collect them. Thank you for telling me your videos are good. By the way. I’m mostly like your collection video I love I do love the old vintage street lights.
The PHILIPS S6S306 is my favourite one
i have a traffic vision but the bowl is broken when i got it but still works I'm planning on getting a new glass shape fitted
also have a zx12, zx1 and a Arc 90 and also planning to have a thorn alpha 8 and zx2 as well
This is wonderful lots of nostalgic street lights I bet your glad to have all of these magnificent street lights 🤩
@@siyam346 i am indeed!
😁
my zx1 also runs a 100 wat and im not running it too long as i was told by Fenori that its too much wat
