Abstract

The invention relates to improvements in lamp columns and a retrofit interface device for use with street lamp columns. The invention is providing an interface device (100) which is adapted for use with a lamp column (10) so as to supply an electric current for an electrical payload. The interface device (100) enables modification of an existing street lamp column (10) into a charging station. Modification is made without requiring extensive excavation. A communication system is optionally provided which permits remote reservation using a mobile telephone, and sending data on power used.
