150w CU Phosco P456 replacement job The owner of this site got in contact with me regarding their car park lighting in much need of a repair. Knowing at least two had been out of light for 6 years and missing their bowls, suggested two lanterns needed replacement. It was decide to make things easier to swap the P456 globes for second hand Urbis ZXU1s running 70w SON E lamps. On the day we discovered not only did 2 have dead gear and two needing igintors, all their bowls had become brittle with age / the heat of burning 150w SON E lamps! Also only one globe worked so very over due a repair. Needless to say this was a very good replacement installtion, not only did we save the owners wattage, we have made the whole car park and walk areas better lit!

That looks awesome. Anybody else would have probably lashed up 6500k LED floods or something equally horrible...

Thanks Very Happy the site owner said we saved them alot of money, so i feel they must of had someone quote them for it who likely suggested some sort of floodlights going by some lighting around the building, which was already faulty!

Yeah, I imagine they were the types who look at anything not LED with glee and then quote a big job to rip them all out and fit the cheapest LED they can find with lashed up wiring and the usual bodges and end up with a worse lit area than before!

This is one reason i feel proud with this job, a good installtion done right compared to what we see today.

Good to see the results by night. Long may they keep burning SON lamps!

Totally, after the pub dinner we drove back for a look Very Happy these are just down the road from me, so i will be keeping my eye on these

Nice job James, the 70s in that form probably light better than the 150s?
Mrstreetlight   [26 Jan, 2022 at 01:22 PM]
I would say so Rich. Was hard to compare with just one globe lit but definitely does a better job running 70w and less light spread Very Happy hoping to get hold of some MK frosted bowls and maybe will light one in my garden for testing reasons

Oh yeah, you gotta test! Cool
