amberline lantern
Product No. 51/77210

        



The Amberline is an enclosed side entry lantern for use with 1-200W Mazda Sodium Linear Discharge lamp type SLI/H.


Application
The Amberline provides a semi-cut-off distribution to comply with BS 1788 (revised) and may be mounted at heights between 25 and 35 feet and 120 to 170 feet spacing according to the intensity required on the road surface.

The Amberline is acepted by the Ministry of Transport for Class 'A' road lighting.


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

The canopy is a single piece silicon aluminium alloy casting incorporating a separate internal reflector or polished aluminium. At the bracket entry end a single support and bracket provides the earthing facilities and carries a push-on type lamp holder, terminal block, thermal relay and socket. At the roadway end a fixed-lamp support is provided adjacent to a floating push-on type lampholder with flexible supply leads to faciliate easy re-lamping.

Refractor pieces 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 weatherpoof 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 an internal reflector of polished aluminium in conjunction with refractor plates sealed to the inside of the perspex enclosing bowl.


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


Weight
15½ lb.
