REVO C???? Lucidor A

Not a popular lantern, given it's dreadful design fault. Sleek, sexy and sixties, this Group-A Lucidor featured a tiny extrusion for bracket entry - and some brackets were too curved to take the lantern. REVO changed the design by later adding a shoe.

One road in Cambridge is lit with these. After almost forty years of service (assuming installation in the 1960s), they've only just started to fail: the bowls usually disappear after windy nights.

This lantern was originally installed in Springhill Lane, Wolverhampton, and was rescued by Claire Pendrous.
