I posted this poem in August last year the last time we were active on the site: We saw a lonely SOX light
It was a wonderful sight
That soft amber glow
That we will soon forego
He is holding his own
But will soon be overthrown
By the march of LEDs
That the government decreesI'm pleased to report that as of last week he's still there.!  |

I’ve always been interested in all kinds of lighting, mainly incandescent and HID, and especially all kinds of sodium lamps (HPS/LPS). I’ll tolerate LED but I’m not a fan of it.
I’m not proud to say that my city has Devolved to LED.

So do we, but I think that he's on private property so as long as they get the lamps he will be safe. |

| That’s good. I hope they can keep getting new sodium lamps to keep it going.

This poem was inspired by the wonderful sight we had driving along the M40, approaching the junction with the M25: Driving along the motorway
Has really made our day
SOX lighting for mile after mile
Has given us a reason to smile
Witnessing this glorious light
Is the most wonderful sightAnd long may it continue.!  |

| Nice second half of the poem! It must be awesome to still have a highway completely lit by SOX lamps.

It's a totally new poem actually, just on the same theme, I posted one yesterday in the comments on our 180W SOX lamp. |
