Special dispersive lantern designed for use with OSIRA lamsp and combining a dispersive distribution with a cut-off of light above an angle of 75 degrees above the vertical. The lantern consists of heavy gauge copper body with upper and lower reflectors or porcelain enamel steel. A clear heat-resisting glass cylinder with spring suspension fixing protects the lamp against driving rain. The possibility of lamp failures due to water-drip or condensation is entirely eliminated by the patent top connecting box (see page 22). The lantern is wired internally with special heat resisting cables between the connecting box and the G.E.S. porcelain lampholder.
