We had those in the USA as well. If you kicked the pole hard enough you could make it go out for a few minutes.

the light they produced was the best and I wish we still used them, or at least an LED that mimics the orange color.

I remember being teached pole kicking as a drunk teenager...
Yellow LEDs emit light at 585 nm, which is very close to low pressure sodium lights at 589 nm.
