So I’ve recently collected my first ever lantern a few weeks ago and I’m thinking to save even more. However, saving a lantern nowadays seems to be a complete gamble (especially with the rate of LED replacements happening around my borough recently). I’m thinking to contact the contractor that manages the lighting around my borough for a depot tour so I can save some, since I heard it’s a good way to save lanterns.
The lantern I’m looking to save is a Beta 79, as it’s my signature childhood lantern, although I’m planning to save others too.

Good luck! I hope you’re able to save as many as possible.

Thank you! 

I would try to send emails to council too. Good luck BTW.
