1960s AEI-Amber
Cambridge has to be one of the best places left in the UK to see large numbers of ancient sodium street lighting still in main road use. This elderly 1960s AEI 'Amber' sodium lantern, seen burning a 90w SOX sodium lamp and held aloft on an even older bracket, is typical of the many old street lights to be found in the City. Sadly, all of this will all soon be history, as the City is about to undergo a massive PFI funded street lighting renewal program.
