The Iridium Invasion? Not really an invasion, at least in this part of the island, where the SGS203 is king. 479x639 aIMGP1360.jpg |
The old main road, now the GC-500, through Arguineguin. I didn't see any remaining traffic lights in the south of the island that were switched on, not that this caused any problem of course. Lighting: Philips EGS (SON). 640x480 aIMGP1361.jpg |
Cobrahead lighting in a park, most likely an American import, running SON. 639x479 aIMGP1362.jpg |

Most likely the old alignment of the GC-500 before the current alignment was carved through the rock near Balito. Lighting: unknown (MBFU). 639x479 aIMGP1477.jpg |
Steps down the hill on an undeveloped estate. The road infrastructure was built in 2003/2004, but the top layer of the road surface not put down and the lighting not switched on. Lighting: Philips SGS203 (SON/MBFU?). 639x479 aIMGP1482.jpg |
A close up of a Philips SGS203. Notice the incorrect use of an elliptical lamp with a T-POT reflector. The lamp may be SON or MBFU, but I'm not sure. I have seen elliptical SON lamps fitted further along the road, but have also seen MBFU lamps lighting footways, so I'll have to wait a few years to find out. 479x639 aIMGP1483.jpg |
One of the roads through the undeveloped estate, awaiting the top road surface and the switch on of the lighting. It will take quite a bit of work to get the road back up to standard, as the road and some of the lighting has fallen into disrepair. Lighting: Philips SGS203 (SON). 639x479 aIMGP1486.jpg |

A road tunnel on the GC-500 near Puerto Rico. Unlike the motorway tunnels these are unlit inside, which is strange for a Brit to see. Lighting outside the tunnel: Philips SGS203 (SON). 639x479 aIMGP1545.jpg |
