Tronic Mercury Fitting Street Lantern, 250 Watts
TSh 37,500
Our review
This is a 250-watt street lantern from Tronic that uses a mercury vapour fitting, the older lamp technology that many outdoor lighting setups in Tanzania still run on. It is aimed at buyers who already have mercury fixtures in place, or who want a like-for-like replacement rather than converting a whole installation to LED. The main thing to weigh is running cost and light quality. Mercury lamps are less efficient than LED street lights, and the manufacturer's own description notes that LED options direct light along roads more effectively and render colours in a way that looks closer to natural daylight. So if your priority is lower power draw or better visibility at night, compare this fitting against an LED equivalent before deciding. If you are simply maintaining an existing mercury setup, check the lamp holder type, the ballast already installed, and the mounting arrangement on your pole, since none of those details are listed here. Also confirm the wattage matches what your circuit and fittings are rated for. It is available on Sokonia.
