Published Electric Street Lighting in 1938. - 1938 Advert

The BEDA claim that the average cost of electricity for street lighting is 1d. per unit (whether of the filament or discharge type). They also estimate that approximately two-thirds of the street lighting in the British Isles is electric - APLE Conference Programme 1939

Issue the "Look To Your Lights" booklet in 1945. - Public Lighting #37, 1945

The most significant aspect of post-war street lighting is the numerous cities and towns of all sizes which have decided to adopt a medium term policy of fully electrifying all existing street lighting. In every area in which an independent Public Lighting Engineer holds office, a program of electrification, though not proclaimed as a policy, is being followed. - APLE Conference Programme 1946
