Local Thorn Pilotes

The Pilote is not a popular lantern in the UK - however a number can be spotted on the A516 and parts of the A38 through Derby. These were installed in the mid 1990s at the time when Thorn's lamp division was being taken over by GE. 150w lamps are used in all cases.

These two Pilotes are to be found on the A516 and are fitted to an Abacus single-door column.

Just down from the previous example is this single-armed example. The control point for this stretch of lights is behind this column (not shown here).
