    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?
