Philips MI80 Lantern Installations

The Philips MI80 was the 55W SOX/36W SOX-E version of the Philips MI50. It was strikingly-similar in design, with the same squarish aluminium canopy shape, albeit longer. Due to the extra length, the clips were located on the side of the lantern, rather than the back like the MI50. The Philips MI80 was also sold as the SXK55 (KombiPak) as a security light. The inclusion of a wall-bracket with the security light version makes it easily distinguishable from it's road-lighting counterpart.


Two Gates Industrial Estate, Tamworth

Another barely-used SOX lantern here, their rarity makes it unsurprising that this installation is privately owned, by a business in Two Gates Industrial Estate. It's wall mounted on a short outreach wall bracket (making it the SXK55), and runs 35W SOX in the 55W lantern.

The same lantern at night.

Another Philips SXK55 exists on a private lot just-off Claymore. As evident by the SON floodlight situated just-below, this installation hasn't worked in a long time!


Lichfield Industrial Estate

I know of a few other installations, all privately owned. This one is in Lichfield Industrial Estate. It runs 26W SOX-E.


Lichfield

Europa Way, Lichfield supports several Philips MI80s, all running 55W SOX.
