majestic
See also: Kempton & Son's Majestic
Ideal lamp for main street lighting (Group 'A'). A circular lantern designed for central suspension (but later could be used with bracket arms). Fitted with Multiplane mirror reflectors. Designed for B.S.I. installations of Classes F, E or D (later Group 'A'). The reflectors could be adjusted in-situ by way of wing-nuts so that the beam can be raised or lowered. The reflector constitutes almost a complete "cut-off" thus almost eliminating glare. Can be fitted with refractors, stainless steel wing reflectors or "Multiplane" mirror glass reflectors. Entirely storm proof and gives a maximum and even illumination on the road surface. Has a 'Type 2 Distribution' (Semi Cut-Off) according to the draft 1945 specification.

Post-war houses between 9 to 12 No. 2 mantles. The "Multiplane" faceted mirror glass directional reflectors, which are attached to the enamelled steel outer reflectors, are readily adjustable to allow for gradients and such alterations in spacing as are required by the configuration of the road. The mantles are thereby screened from the view of approaching motorists and light about the horizontal is re-directed at a vertical angle of from 70° to 85° according to requirements. Suitable for central suspension or for kerb mounting, over 95% of the light being usefully employed below the horizontal. The standard lantern with a 13" diameter bowl and 30" outer enamelled reflector may be supplied with three sizes of burner: 12 light, 10 light and 8 light No. 2 mantles.

Recommended for side street lighting. Can be fitted with refractors, stainless steel wing reflectors or "Multiplane" mirror glass reflectors. Exceptionally strong and is rain and wind proof. It is a taper square suspension lantern, with a pre-war reputation for robustness of construction and effective performance, and has its place in the post-war reconstruction of damaged roads.

Can be fitted with refractors, stainless steel wing reflectors or "Multiplane" mirror glass reflectors. Gives an output of 1200 to 2400 lumens. Design slightly changed post-war. It is a bowl suspension lantern, with a pre-war reputation for robustness of construction and effective performance, and has its place in the post-war reconstruction of damaged roads.

elmax
For the lighting of Group B roads. Should meet with the approval of all public lighting engineers who wish to preserve the sound construction, effective performance and easy of maintenance of the taper-square lantern, but who regard the shape of the latter as out-of-date. Three important features of the lantern are the ventilating head with pressed copper roof; the new venturi giving complete combustion and improved aeration; and the mirror glass back reflectors which redirect light near and above the horizontal at vertical angles of between 75° and 80°. Ample light is provided on the footpaths and building fronts behind the lanterns. The directive equipment consists of a four-way parabolic enamelled top reflector and a pair of stippled mirror glass back reflectors. In 1947 a new pattern burner was introduced, the construction of which was largely in pressed copper. The lantern may incorporate 2 to 4 mantles, Nos. 1 or 2 in line.
