Urbis DZ15

This early design from Urbis is an ugly cut-off brute, purely functional with a minimum of styling and fuss. Despite it's blocky nature, it's popular in Europe, where installations of brightly coloured DZ15s do actually look quite good.

Interestingly, the construction of the lantern, and it's styling, reflects that off a cut-off Thorn Alpha One. Swap the Opticell for SealSafe and the similarities become evident.

The lantern is fitted with 150W SON.

The original location of the lantern is unknown, being obtained by swapping with another collector.
