Usually I collect bulbs (Mostly LED) and some HID ones. I also own a couple of streetlights, but most are made in Poland.

However, I mostly prefer SOX bulbs. LED bulbs in their efficacy will never beat SOX bulbs, in my opinion.

Don't want to be mean but they look like a total rip off of an Atlas Alpha 8 lantern. They probably bought a longer size of an atlas alpha 8 and inserted 3 bulbs to make it unique However, the column looks the same as the one in London. Maybe it is an atlas alpha 8, but just a remake

Yeah, maybe. It might just be one of those things that's lost in time.
