There are over one hundred different varieties of street light that can be seen on Britain's roads, from the quaint to the really unusual.
This is a guide to some of the more common examples of luminaries (lighting units) - some were made by more than one manufacturer, however the listing generally shows the original manufacturer. More information on street lighting can be found by visiting the websites listed to the right of this page. You may find the Inside a Street Light page useful for understanding what each term means.
If there is an luminaire that you think should be included, or you can provide a
photo for an listing with no photo, please don't hesitate to
get in touch!
