Z 8700 "DI-FUSER" LANTERN


Outside diameter18 ins.
Overall height24 ins.
Weight (complete)14 lbs.
Top connection. Standard tapping ¾-inch gas thread. Other tappings to order.


G.E.C. "Di-Fuser" Street Lighting Lantern
Totally enclosed dust-proof lantern, specially designed for OSIRA lamps. The body is of heavy guage copper with porcelain enamel steel inner and outer reflectors. The diffusing bowl is of high quality low absorption flashed opal white glass. The special shape of the glass is not only decorative, but has been designed to give a good distribution of candle-power for the general lighting of such areas as traffic junctions where a diffused light is required. The possibility of lamp failures due to water-drop or condensation is entirely eliminated by the patent top connecting box which is similar to that described on page 22.
