THROOP, DORSET
THROOP is a village just outside BOURNEMOUTH and most of the street lights are gas lights. A lot of these gas lights have got clockwork timeswitches in them and some of them has got modern photocells and these work from 12V DC.
Clockwork timeswitches last for about 30 days before they need to wind up again and the battries for the photocells ,I think they last longer.
THROOP is next to HOLDENHURST .
