The Amber is an enclosed side entry lantern for one horizontally operated 85/140W Sodium Vapour Discharge lamp, type SO/H. In theis version the lamp auxiliary gear is mounted inside the lantern canopy.


Application
For Group 'A' rodas the Amber provides a semi cut-off light distribution to comply with BS 1788 (revised).


Specification
The unit comprises a cast aluminium canopy with a perspex enclosing bowl and conforms to the requirements of BS 1788 for streetlighting lanterns.

The canopy is a single piece silicon aluminium alloy casting incorporating mounting positions for the transformer and capacitor which are ready wired for immediate connection to mains voltage supplies.

The unit includes a terminal block, earth terminal and camble clamp located adjacent to the bracket entry.

At the roadway end a porcelain BC lampholder is mounted on a bracket support aligned to a lamp steady support at the opposite end.

Refractor plates are sealed to the inside of the one piece perspex enclosing bowl. The bowl seats evenly on a hollow section neoprene gasket located within the canopy. Easy compression of the gasket ensures a weatherproof seal between the enclosing bowl and the canopy.

The enclosing bowl is hinged sideways from the canopy by means of stainless steel hinge pivots which allows the bowl to be swung down or completely removed for servicing and maintenance. Two stainless steel fasteners and retaining clips secure the bowl in position.


Light Control
Light distribution is controlled by perspex refractor plates sealed to the inside of the bowl.


Mounting
Side entry for 4 inch maximum length 1¼" BSP plain.
