WRTL Pathfinder Lantern Installations

Tamworth Town Centre

Another rare lantern. This remains to be the only one I've seen in person. However, this isn't any old WRTL pathfinder, because it is cycling! I only spotted it by chance, tucked away in a alleyway, cycling away! I just so happened to walk past the entrance to the alleyway as it turned off, and it caught my eye! As I approached I thought it was a Thorn Civic 1 or a WRTL 2600. Boy was I happy to find one of these! Unfortunately I wasn't out photographing streetlights and thus didn't have my camera on me, so not much is yet known about this lantern and the pictures aren't the best quality. If I'd guess, it runs 50W SON and has a Zodion Photocell.

An update on this lantern! I visited it at night and the bulb had now blown. It no-longer cycled or worked at all.

I also visited the Pathfinder again on 16th December 2023 during a rather warm winter afternoon.

The Pathfinder was replaced recently, and I was sadly not around to save it. A Holophane S-Line took it's place.
