If you would like me to include your own or someone else's website on the list below, please e-mail me at the address at the bottom of the page.

The sites below are mostly from other streetlighting enthusiasts, and contain details not only of SOX lamps and other low-pressure sodium lamps, but other lamp types that are used in streetlighting.
