Designed to use 250 or400 watt MBF/U Lamp

SPECIFICATION

Corrosion resistant die-cast aluminium alloy (LM6M) canopy and bowl ring: one piece heat resistant acyrlic bowl. Highly polished specular aluminium side reflectors manufactured from super purity magnesium-aluminium alloy, chemically brightened and anodised. Inside of canopy stoved white, fully gasketted with neoprene strip to eliminate dirst and moisture; fitted porcelain terminal block, earth screw and cable clamp. Porcelain G.E.S. lampholder with heat resisting leads. Stainless steel hinge pins and quick action spring clips.

Compiles with B.S. 1877:1964

PERFORMANCE

Cut-off distribution, 250 Watt, suitable for group A1 roads at 8m mounting height, group A2 and A3 roads up to and including 10m mounting height and 400W for all mounting heights up to and including 12m on group A2 and A3 roads in accordance with British Standard Code of Practice CP 1004 Part 2: 1963.

LIGHT DISTRIBUTION DATA

Candela - Intensity ratio x 1022 M.H.I. Based on average output of 11,500 Lumens. Large scale Iso-Candle Diagrams and Polar Curves availabel on request. ELECO PHOTOMETRIC LABORATORY.
