Local Philips MI 36s (XGS 104s)
The MI 36 appeared here in the mid 1990s - usually being used as a casual replacement for another 55w SOX lantern. The lantern also saw some use on new housing estates and would always be seen on a 6m column. Following the decision to do away with brackets, whole column replacements often had spigot-mounted versions fitted. Whilst the 55w SOX version is the more common variety, 36w PL-L versions are used somewhere in the County as well.
This spigot-mounted XGS 104 is just off Wragley Way in Stenson Fields and would have replaced an MI 8 / Phosco P224.
