In my country Trinidad and Tobago in the 50's-80's there were several fluorescent streetlights in use.The largest vertical house type used in port of spain contained 4 tubes and there were pre heat,on smaller towns and the eastern main road had a retangle horizontal type fixture it was a rapid start with 4 tubes.The colors were daylight,white,cool and warm white.They were also medium and small version used in rural areas and side streets contained two tubes.The watts were 40 watt.Can you please tell me who were the makers of those fixtures?

Wow I've never seen anything like that before. I've seen fluorescent parking lot lights, especially in old gas stations.

Hey, you're back! Most of the outdoor lighting in my town and neighboring towns are pretty modern now... There's just a couple of old, rusty ones at the abandoned gas stations sitting around.

The flourescent lights were pretty common at gas stations before canopies were used. They were usually installed in pairs over the gas pumps.
GEC flourescent streetlights were common in the UK for many years.
