Poem about SOX « on: December 29, 2019, 06:27:11 PM » Author: Mandolin Girl
I posted this poem in August last year the last time we were active on the site: We saw a lonely SOX light It was a wonderful sight That soft amber glow That we will soon forego He is holding his own But will soon be overthrown By the march of LEDs That the government decrees I'm pleased to report that as of last week he's still there.!

There are two kinds of light  -  the glow that illuminates, and the glare that obscures.

Good poem! I hope that SOX lamp isn’t overthrown by LEDISEASE...

I’ve always been interested in all kinds of lighting, mainly incandescent and HID, and especially all kinds of sodium lamps (HPS/LPS). I’ll tolerate LED but I’m not a fan of it.
I’m not proud to say that my city has Devolved to LED.

That’s good. I hope they can keep getting new sodium lamps to keep it going.

This poem was inspired by the wonderful sight we had driving along the M40, approaching the junction with the M25:  Driving along the motorway Has really made our day SOX lighting for mile after mile Has given us a reason to smile Witnessing this glorious light Is the most wonderful sight And long may it continue.!

Nice second half of the poem! It must be awesome to still have a highway completely lit by SOX lamps.

It's a totally new poem actually, just on the same theme, I posted one yesterday in the comments on our 180W SOX lamp.

We finally managed to stop right outside where he's located, to take some pictures. Hopefully we'll be able to see him lit soon. If he doesn't work any more, we'll offer them some lamps to keep him going

We don't have room for him, but we'd happily keep him supplied with lampses so that he could light up people's lives.
