Lamp post lamp advice needed.

Ben Wallen

I was asked today to look at several Victorian style lamp posts which are not working. Apparently one out of the 7 works but the lamp is very dim.

I opened the fitting and found the components for a fluorescent lamp, however the lamp itself didn’t look fluorescent. I’m wondering if I should try a like for like replacement of the lamps or should be looking for a different type of lamp? 


Thanks for taking the time to read my question.

    If you have a look at the rating plate, it tells you what this ballast tray is for.

    70 W SON sodium lamp - still available to the best of my knowledge, so provided the customer hasn't damaged the lamps by fitting LED or CFL, new lamp may well work.

    The picture on the right looks like a standard CFL - so my guess is the customer has tried to fit a new lamp in here, and it's the wrong one.
