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.5543/5/6/7/8 have a spun non-ferrous body, whilst those numbered Z.5555/6/7/8 have a die-cast light alloy body. An earthing screw is provided.


Lampholder The lampholder can be B.C. or E.S. for use with an OSRAM lamp or three-slot BC for use with an OSRAM H.P.M.V. lamp. A G.E.S. holder is required only when 125 w. OSRAM H.P.M.V. fluorescent lamp is used.


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


Optical System The "Oxford" optical system consists of a symmetric dome "S" and a prismatic bowl refractor "B". The light distribution is non-axial asymmetric and gives better results than are obtained with the "Wembley" distribution. The bowl refractor carries prisms and flutes on its two surfaces which gives the necessary redirection and diffusion of light

When the 80 w. or 125 w. OSRAM H.P.M.V. fluorescent lamp or 45 w. OSRAM sodium lamp is used no inner dome refractor is required. The inner reflector in these lanterns is flat and not dome shaped as with the "Wembley" or "Oxford" lantern.


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.
