Philips MI36
A Philips MI36 which was replaced a long while ago now, but I only just dug out a photo recently. It was dayburning for ages although sometimes it was off, but not often. One day it was randomly replaced by a VMAX.
It was situated at the very bottom of Sandby Court in Chilwell, but no longer exists.
I assumed that all Chilwell's 55w SOX lighting had been Thorn Beta 2s and GEC Z9538s on the roads (and the odd Simplex here and there) but a look on some old bus photos I had revealed that Field Lane was actually lit by Philips lanterns like this one.
At the time I took this photo I didn't know the difference between lanterns and is the only photo I took specifically of one of the old MI36s, as every single one has gone now from Chilwell. This is odd seeing as there are still GECs and Simplexes kicking around which look much older!
