Philips 18w Sox

Here is a shot of one of the Philips 18w SOX fittings recessed into the ceiling at our Local Sainsbury's store. They were installed when the store was constructed in 1983 and were powered up during closing hours. Don't think they are used now.

Bizarre to see SOX installed indoors like that! Cheap to run I suppose!

Ideal for low running cost police lights! Is there many of them rob?

Mine had these too. They ripped them all out last year when ceiling was removed. Its now all open plan with suspended continuous LED strips. I worked there in the mid 90's, never saw them lit however.

Shame 18w sox bulkheads are so fucking hard to get hold of. Would be nice to save these some how.
