Like that idea, as it will allow me to minimise time pole is lying around on site - it's not the best part of town!! Was also considering using a hinged pole to avoid necessity of hiring a platform - I don't have a H&S ticket for such things, (not that it would stop me anyway).

Supply is TN-S.

Thanks for all the ideas guys. Applaud SmileyApplaud SmileyApplaud Smiley

Tilt over columns are often a good bit more expensive, but then this can be offset by the fact you don;t need a tower every time the lamps need changing. Another option might be to just stick a ladder doobrie on the column.
