LPS Lamp Wattage Problem « on: December 21, 2023, 07:57:49 AM » Author: axel_chai
So, I was searching for video that has LPS streetlight in my country Indonesia. I guessed that in the 1990s, Jakarta, Indonesia's capital had LPS streetlights. I found a video that was recorder on 1995 by a person and I see so many LPS streetlights there. I was surprised to see that because LPS streetlights are rare now. But my question is, what wattage did they use? Here's the link to the YouTube video : https://youtube.com/watch?v=uTWF-Jb-9e8&si=S5irCsxMZjSFjxaS. And if I can know, what is the general wattage for LPS streetlight?

I love old lamps! I will try collecting a lot of older lamps, especially LPS and fluorescent! And I will not do weird experiments because I'm not an expert!

Often times, SOX low pressure sodium street lanterns use a wide range of lamp wattages ranging from 35W for residential streets, 55W and 90W for minor roads, 135W for major roads, and 180W for multi lane highways.

Plus 18W (and the very rare 10W) for security lighting  Not to mention the SOX-E range of 26W, 36W, 66W, 91W and 131W

Judging by what’s in the video, it seems likely that the lanterns used 135W or 180W SOX low pressure sodium lamps or the 91W or 131W SOX-E low pressure sodium lamps.
