Incandescent - Never seen one, been phased out in Sweden since forever. Fluorescent - A few on older industrial buildings around town but never seen one for roadway lighting. Mercury - There is only two installations with a total of five lanterns maintained by the municipal power company still in service, but quite a few on older factories and older houses. Mostly "byhattar". LP Sodium - There is a few here and there in Gothenburg, but i dont think they are in service. None left here in town. HP Sodium - These are everywhere. Metal Halide - These are getting more and more common as retrofits in HPS fixtures around town. The whole central area of town is fitted with MH lanterns.

On our trip down south we saw LPS lighting in the wild, and Ria was so distracted by this wonderful sight that we went the wrong way.!

A rare sight these days, that's for sure, we hope they remain for a long time to come
