G.E.C. Post-Top Mounting "Di-Fuser" Street Lighting Lantern

Totally enclosed dustproof lantern specially designed for use with OSIRA lamps. The body is of ornamental dome appearance made from heavy gauge spun copper. The detachabel cast iron spigot cap is fixed to the cast iron ring on the main body of the lantern by means of two side supporting tubular arms. The copper top is held by three milled brass bolts to the cast iron ring. A stepped opal diffusing bowl of high quality low absorption flashed opal glass produces in conjunction with a vitreous enamelled steel inner reflector a diffused symmetric light distribution. The whole surface of the bowl is equally bright so that there is no glare or patchiness produced. It is held to the main body by a hinged cast ring, which is secured by a lug and two spring fasteners. A G.E.S. porcelain lampholder can be used in two positions so that the lantern is suitbale for 250 or 400-watt OSIRA lamps. It is wired from the lampholder to a terminal block by means of heat-resisting leads. Access to this is obtained by removal of the copper top. The external finish of the lantern is aluminium colour and all reflecting surfaces are heavily vitreous enamelled.
