This photo shows the SOX lighting shortly after you leave the A484 bypass the Carmarthen end to enter Kidwelly. In the foreground is a 35W Revo 'Dalek' lantern on telegraph pole bracket, and behind the two vans is a 35W Revo Lucidor, also on a telegraph pole bracket.

There are three or four similar light fittings here, all with different lanterns, so I have no idea which lanterns are original and which are replacements!

Another photo of the Lucidor, from the other side. Here you can clearly see the photocell, obviously added at a later date.

Philips MA90 on column, part of a 1980s installation towards the centre of Kidwelly. The other side of the castle GEC Z9454 lanterns feature on the columns.

The black and gold paintwork is a recent addition, and matches that used in Carmarthen from 2001.

Update 13 December 2004 : some of these columns have now been replaced by new aluminium Nedal columns and modern MA90s with gear.

An example of the traditional style lanterns which light the streets which lead to the castle. Tim Luck believes this is a Windsor lantern made by D. W. Windsor Ltd., with a modern refractor.

This photo shows a 90W SOX Revo 'Dalek' lantern on a column lighting the bridge over the castle moat towards the town centre. As far as I know this is the only Revo on a column in Kidwelly, and appears to separate the 1980s MA90 installation and the GEC Z9454 installation the other side of the bridge.

Update 13 December 2004: this column was replaced during 2004 with a new Nedal aluminium one and modern MA90 with gear.

A close up of the above Revo 'Dalek' lantern. You can clearly see a circular section towards the front of the lantern which has been obscured, presumably to stop glare into the houses opposite. A two part photocell unit has been added to this lantern - note the detector on top of the canopy.

Another Revo 'Dalek', this time on telegraph pole bracket. As with Pembrey and Burry Port, there are a large number of telegraph pole fittings in Kidwelly, but less 'Dalek' lanterns. Possibly at one time, these lit the whole town, as with Pembrey and Burry Port.

Note what appears to be another white photocell box (see the Revo Lucidor A on page 1).

Another telegraph pole bracket fitting, this time with the standard 1990s MA90 replacement. More recently, longer MA90s with gear have been used.

A slightly unusual bracket fitting with a longer extension to the top. This time the lantern used is an Eleco GR100.
