barkby
Product No. 51/46207

The Barkby is an enclosed type Post Top lantern suitable for use with four vertically mounted 2 ft. 40 watt tubular fluorescent lamps. (Type MCFA/U.).


Application
For shopping areas, boulevards, gardens, works entrances and similar situations where appearances and colour of light are important.


Specification
The lantern consists of a base casting manufactured from LM6 aluminium alloy which accepts the top of the column. The lantern is secured to the column by three 3/8" BSW socket set screws.

A robust aluminium alloy spinning is located on the base cating and provides a lower seating for the opal Perspex cover.

The top of the Perspex cover is closed by an aluminium alloy canopy spinning. A resilient Neoprene gasket is positioned between the Perspex cover and spun canopy, and provides an effective seal.

A special feature of this lantern is that the lamps and control gear are mounted on a special tray which can be completely and easily removed from the lantern, thus assisting routine maintenance. The lamps can be replaced through the top of the lantern by removing the spun canopy or removing the gear tray if desired.

A cable gland and three-way connector block are provided for the incoming leads.

The standard lantern is for operation on 230/240 volts, 50 c.p.s.


Mounting
The lantern base casting is suitable for mounting on a 3" x 3" spigot.
