general construction
The reflectors consist of one piece castings glazed with silvered glass facets, cut from flat sheet,
embedded in a special atmospheric resisting cement. Each facet is set at the exact angle and is of a calculated
size to produce the desired light distribution.
Material: Cast iron or Aluminium non-corrosive alloy.
Finish: Green or Aluminium. Other colours to order.
Tapping: ¾" gas thread as standard. Tappings to 1¼" to order.
Lamp Holders: Bayonet Cap or Edison screw. Anti-vibration B.C. type as standard. Rigid Edision Screw or rigid Bayonet Cap when specified.

technical description
The reflectors are designed to produce a light distribution of the required characteristics
to ensure good uniformity of illumination and road brightness. The peak candle power is projected at an angle of 10o below the horizontal.
The recommended average economical spacing of posts is ten times the mounting height of the lamp filament.
Type of lamp. B.S.I. type clear gas filled singled coil tungsten filament lamps for standard use. Where the reflectors are
installed under aderse circumstances as regards mounting height etc., pearl lamps should be used as explained
later. Also, where coiled coil lamps are employed, these should always be of the pearl type unless the mounting height is more than 17'.
mounting height
The table below gives the suggested mounting heights for various wattages. Where the mounting height is less
than these values, it is advisable to either use a pearl lamp or one of the numerous grades of semi-diffusing
silvered glass instead of the clear mirror glass. Reflectors glazed with different grades of this glass may be
loaned for trial purposes and the grade best suited to the conditions can then be chosen.

angular settings
The Bi-Multi method of street lighting constitutes a complete system, the reflectors being available in
an extremely wide variety of angular settings, which are constantly being added to. We can therefore guarantee to provide
a reflector producing the correct distribution of light for every position in a scheme, irrespective of road bends, intersections,
varying spacings, road widths etc.
The table below indicates the present range of angular settings, but we make a regular practice of designing special patterns whenever
we find unusual positions.
The angles are read in a clockwise direction looking down on the fitting. It must be remembered that the angle of the reflector
does not follow the angle of the road. For instance, in the case of a straight road with side of road mounting, 180o reflector
is not required, the correct one being usually 165o or 170o. (i.e. ensuring that a minimum of light is wasted on
the boundaries of the road.) Another example is an exact 90o sharp bend; here either a 100o or an 80o
fitting will be necessary according to whether the post is on the inside or outside of the bend. The general lines of procedure are
described in the introductory matter of our general catalogues.
technical service
The personal services of our technical staff at the works are at our clients' disposal at all times.
They are prepared to visit a district in order to advise on all street lighting problems, also to inspect
every individual lighting position to ascertain the correct reflector, or this latter work can be done reasonably well from plans.
They are also ready to carry out photometric tests on site, for which purpose they are equipped with the latest portable photometers available.
