Local Philips ME 70s

Local Philips ME 70 (now SGS 201)s

The ME 70 briefly appeared here in the mid 1990s - mainly around the Cavendish area of Normanton although a few examples are dotted about Derby City Centre as well. The idea was to improve the lighting in the area - of course, if the same scheme were introduced these days, white light would be used but back then, retro-fit metal halide lamps were only in their infancy for street-lighting use and compact fluorescents weren't all that compact!

This ME 70 on St Mary's Gate appears to be positioned so that the lantern is right up against the corner of the building - however in reality, there is a small gap!

This ME 70 is in a car park in Willington.
