1993 Philips MI26 LPS Street Lamp.

The MI 26 was the name provided to the UK version of the Philips F/XGS 103 lantern, from its introduction in September 1985, until Philips standardised on the F/XGS 103 name in the late 1990s; the 'MI' prefix meaning that the lantern was intended for use on MInor roads, and the '26' suffix showing that the lantern was able to accommodate a 26 Watt SOX-E lamp (the same physical size as a 35 Watt SOX lamp). Presumably, the use of 35 Watt lamps in these lanterns proved more popular than the use of 26 Watt lamps did; hence the retiring of the MI 26 name. The 18 Watt version of this lantern is not officially listed in UK catalogues; however, a conversion to this wattage was still possible, owing to the presence of fixing points for the lamp support in two places along the gear tray.
