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.

    I would be very surprised if 400 volts has been used on a small installation like this, but check just in case.

    The lamp pictured is almost certainly for direct connection to the mains without any control gear. I would therefore consider disconnecting the control gear and fitting new LED lamps of suitable wattage. "suitable" being customer choice. As little as 5 watts for decorative effect up to 15 watts or more if significant illumination is wanted. CFLs are still available in larger sizes and also worth considering.

    As above, 30 W LED for the same light output as a 70 W SON.

    It doesn't look like a small property?
