I kept to my word, and here is part II of South Wales.
REVO Dalek on S&L column. Daleks are quite common in this area of Port Talbot.
Revo Dareks on old traction poles. Very impressive to see these still surviving. They look amazing in the flesh!
Close up of bracket and lantern.
Close up of a different example.
View of the road. It's actually crazy that this time warp exists in 2013! Even the lighting on the M4 is SOX in the form of MA60s!
Two Eleco HW745s survive on the roundabout junction just after the eastbound slip roads! They are on rusty columns but this is the better example.
The second example. An excellent survivor on quite a busy roundabout. However, the column does appear to be heavily corroded and is leaning forwards...
Close up, showing the rusted bracket and lantern, which is in a remarkably clean condition!
REVO Dalek on another traction pole. I suspect there used to be more but now this is the only one in this area and looks a little unusual!
Close up; spectacular installation.
Thorn Civic 2s have been popular in Neath Port Talbot and West Glamorgan for a couple of years now. They are still being fitted too.
Swansea next up. Unfortunately the weather was not its best so I've since had to play with a couple if images to make them clearer, but here are a twin installation of very rare GEC Z9504s. These were originally designed for SOI lamps but somehow, these were retained and converted. There are only four examples of these on this road now, one of them being taped up (as pictured)
A different example. The majority have been replaced by Eleco GR150s years ago, but casuals also exist from Sapphires, GEC Z9554s and MA50s.
Full installation. Look at that bracket!
GEC Z9564s. These are on borrowed time. GR200s also exist.
The columns and/or the brackets are in very poor condition on most examples.
Eleco GR200s, the left hand one's bowl has broken away, leaving just the back, meaning that the lamp is now exposed.
More GEC Z9564s. These are getting rare all over the UK now, but can still be found on dual carriage ways around Swansea. These examples are in quite reasonable condition compared to other examples in the area. Over half of the columns have been cut and capped in the last three years. I suspect replacement is imminent, although road works have not hit here yet.
Eleco GR200s, 180w SOX. These are still in good condition.
Philips MA60s appear for a short stretch of the carriage way. I expect the carriage way was given a face lift when a new Tesco store opened adjacently. Even though they look in good condition, I can tell some aren't lit as I saw a few lamps had smashed and pieces were lying in the bottom of the bowl.
I can not stress enough, if you are thinking of going to see this lighting, go sooner rather than later whilst it's still there!!
