Welcome to my official website! I'm Leo, a street light enthusiast and collector based in Tamworth, Staffordshire. This site documents my collection and hundreds of streetlights around the UK! You may know me from YouTube, and you'd be correct! I occasionally upload videos (mostly about my lighting collection) there too! As well as YouTube I have my Lighting Gallery page where I post pictures and videos! Thank you for taking the time to view my page and enjoy your visit!
Each tab has it's own features and general theme:
My Collection - A comprehensive list of my street lighting collection. The collection currently consists of 170 street lights, 20 other lights, over 350 lamps, and many control-gears and photocells.
Installations - A gallery of the various street light lanterns to be seen around the UK, from old to new, common to rare. Each installation is unique, with it's own story to tell. Each fixture type has it's own page which lists all instances of that fixture I've photographed.
Hidden in Plain Sight - A small list of some interesting installations I've encountered. These follow the theme of being hidden right in plain sight, and each has it's own page detailing the installation.
Visits - This page highlights and documents visits to interesting places. These can be street light related (such as visits to other collectors) but some of them are simply interesting places that I've visited.
About - A page about my site and collection, including some FAQs such as why I started collecting.
YouTube Uploads - A list of my YouTube Uploads.
Lighting Communities - If you'd like to find spaces with other enthusiasts, or lighting manufacturers, or other collectors sites, then this is the page for you! The page also lists every site I've used for things like information, identification, etc.
Site Updates - A list of the site's updates. The most recent update is at the top, with them getting older as the page descends. Only the most recent update will have links attached to it for quick-viewing.

G'day mate, awesome site packed with excellent info.
Are there any communities like online on Telegram, Reddit, Discord, Instagram, etc. with like minded streetlight enthusiasts!?
Hi Leo I am a collector of streetlight's myself. I currently am looking for a geared Philips ma50 do you know we're I can buy one?.
