atlas gamma six lantern

In Group 'B' lighting installations both the aesthetic appearance and the performance are of great importance. The Gamma Six has been designed to provide these features.

Specification

Special Features. The lantern is designed for use with either fluorescent mercury, sodium or tungsten lamps. The canopy and bowl are detachable in order to facilitate ease of cleaning and maintainance. Neoprene gaskets form the weatherproof joints around the canopy bowl and base and a washer of the same material provides the same protection around the canopy retaining cap.



Optical System. The opal diffuser bowl gives a symmetrical distribution.



Materials. The lantern base is cast from silicon aluminium alloy and the lantern canopy is spun aluminium. Other materials used are heavy gauge mild steel plate and round bar. A glass braided heat resistant cable is used for internal wiring.



Finish. The interior of the lantern has a zinc plated finish and the casting is stove enamelled aluminium. The interior of the canopy has a stove enamelled gloss white finish, whilst the exterior is stove enamelled aluminium.



Installation. The lantern requires a 3" diameter x 3" long spigot which is firmly engaged by 3" x 3/8" B.S.W. socket headed screws. A cable cleat and ceramic terminal block are provided for the incoming cable.
