* See optical system, below, and substitute the asterisk the reference "N", "A" or "S" denothing the type of light distribution required from the dome refractor.


Mounting Top entry. The lantern entry is ¾ in. gas. The lantern is locked to the bracket by a ¼ in. Allen type grub screw.


Lantern Body Two ranges of lantern body are described here. All lanterns with the catalogue number Z.5540/1/2 have a spun non-ferrous body, whilst those numbered Z.5550/1/2 have a die-cast light alloy body. An earthing screw is provided.


Lampholder The lampholder can be BC or ES for use with an OSRAM lamp or three-slot BC for use with an OSRAM H.P.M.V. lamp.


Focusing The lampholder is mounted on a movable bridge which slides on two vertical rods. One is marked with the correct focal position for the various wattages of lamp which can be used.


Optical System A dome refractor controls the light distribution of which three forms are available: (1) Symmetric all round distribution with Z.6502 (reference letter 'S') dome refractor. (2) 160 deg. Non-axial asymmetric, main light output up and down the street just away from the kerb with Z.6508 (reference letter 'N') dome refractor. (3) Axial asymmetric main light output directly up and down the street with Z.6514 (reference letter 'A') dome refractor.

Note: It is necesary to quote the reference letter which identifies the light distribution required when ordering lanterns.

The dome refractor is held by three spring supports from a white enamelled inner reflector.


Outer Glassware Three forms of outer glassware are available: clear globe, Cat. No. Z.6465 (reference letter 'C') or, rimpled Z.6475 (reference letter 'R') or, stepped opal Cat. No. Z6466 (reference letter 'O'), the last form is purely diffusive and no dome refractor is required.


Weathering Finish The light alloy is specially selected for its resistance to corrosion. Further protection is obtained by the use of a suitable primer, undercoat and matt aluminium top coat.


Erection Instructions Full erection and focusing instructions are packed with each lantern.
