Derby's Street Lighting PFI Contract

Slaidburn Close, Mickleover

The columns being removed on this road were:

Seq. No. Lamp Number Location Lamp Type Watt Isolation Point
1 90635 OPP NO 3 SXPL3 35  
2 90636 OS NO 5 SXPL1 35  
3 90637 OS NO 9 SXPL3 35  
4 90638 FP OS NO 16 SXPL3 35  

The following photographs were taken on the 4th April 2010 - Easter Sunday. The outgoing lighting here consisted of three GEC Z5698U lanterns, and one WRTL Arc - a replacement for a Z5698U at some point in the mid-2000s.

By pure accident, I managed to take this photograph from such an angle that almost perfectly aligned the outgoing and new columns:

The Arc was fitted with a 100 Watt SON-T lamp...yes, you read that correctly; a lantern designed for use at an 8 m mounting height was indeed fitted to a 5 m column!

A Z5698U remained on the footpath leading to Pendlebury Drive, however.
