Frequently Asked Questions - XT Power Saving Top For London Canterbury & Durham

Question:

When ordering a new top for the London post, there are two options - large or small. What does this refer to? Apart from the depth surely they are all the same size?
By Tessa Craig on Jan 24,2023

Answer:

We have changed the London xt lights from 08/2022 so if you bought your London light before August 2022 you will need the 25mm size big.

If you purchased the London xt lights after August 2022 then you would need the small 21mm.

This only refers to if you have the London xt lights, if you are purchasing for the Durham or canterbury it is still the same so it will be big 25mm.

Question:

I received 4 London lights and I'm pleased they are so much better than the cheap high street ones I had before. Looks like quite a few are finding they are replacing the tops after 2 years. Will they last longer if left on P setting or does that not make any difference to the overall life expectancy?
By Nigel Harris on Jun 4,2016

Answer:

The P/S settings do not make a difference to the overall life expectancy. It is just the batteries which need replacing after approximately 2 years.

Question:

What do the 2 settings P and S do?
