What happened to CU Phosco’s LED lanterns? « on: April 27, 2025, 02:13:28 PM » Author: phosco179
Yesterday, I’ve noticed that the P861, P862, and the P863, as well as the P852K no longer appear on their website. Only the P860, E950, E951, and the P855-288 are still available. Have those lanterns been discontinued now? Are they releasing a new lantern range?

If you really want to covert LED, prioritize retrofits over full replacements.

So they have. I suppose those lanterns were ageing, and not using the latest tech, meaning that phosco wasn't very competitive. Still, that leaves a large wattage gap. Perhaps the site is malfunctioning?

The classic lights of Canberra are few and far between, this just means that I get know each one better!

Idk. I tried searching the lanterns themselves up and they appear on the search results, but when I try to click on them, it takes me to blank page that says “Page not found”

But as you say they're ageing designs so I assume they are designing something new. Or else replacing them entirely with the E95X range, but I hope not as that range is incredibly ugly.

SOX, SON, and CMH have the best warm ups!

Update: The P861, P862, P863, and the P852K now appear on their website again. It turns out that there was a bug on their website that prevented the lanterns from appearing for some reason.
