Urbis Albany Lantern Installations

The Albany is a heritage lantern designed by Urbis, following one of the designs based on a common type of gas lantern. They could come in SON or metal halide variants previously, but are now sold running 9W-100W LED. They can be post-top or pendant mounted.

Burton-upon-Trent

A collection of Urbis Albanys are present opposite Burton's train station.

These are believed to run 150W HPS lamps, on 10m columns.

King's Bromley

A pair of Albanys light a pedestrian crossing along the A515. Interestingly, they are not the Albany Zebra type, as they are used to light the street as well.

You may have also noticed the traffic lights on the crossing. The nearby control/feeder showed a fault.

Lichfield

These can be seen quite abundantly in Staffordshire, usually running SON lamps (although LED and MH versions are also available). The following installation exists in Lichfield, in a small park by the Western Bypass. It's the slightly rare sight of an Albany being mounted post-top. It runs 70W SON-T.
