Local WRTL Stelas
The following photographs were all taken of the three 18 LED Stelas installed in Memorial Square, Hayfield in 2010 - the first LED lanterns to be used on public roads in Derbyshire.
The first Stela is installed on a 5m column located adjacent the entrance to the Royal Hotel. This replaced a Thorn Beta 5 35W SOX side entry lantern.
The other two Stelas installed on this scheme were fitted to 6m columns. These both replaced older 6m columns that had been retrofitted with WRTL Arc 70W SON lanterns (the original lanterns would have run 90W SOX lamps). The Stelas are all fitted with NEMA sockets and special Royce Thompson Oasis 2000 photocells that are designed to switch on at 35 Lux and extinguish at 18 Lux.
The third lantern was situated at the Bank Street junction.
An 18 LED Stela entered my collection in October 2010 - click here to see pictures of it.
