Clearmain 8426 Lantern
For Osram Colour Corrected Mercury Lamps

Specification Clearmain 8426

Unfortunately the second and third pages of this catalogue is missing.

(1) Prinicple vertical polar curve.
(2) Polar curve in vertical plane parallel to street.
(3) Principle conical polar curve.

The above iso-candela diagram is based on an average lamp light output through life from a
250-watt Osram MBF/U elliptical mercury lamp, 11,000 lumens average, applicable at time of print.




Photometric Data obtained from a Z8426 lantern

Angle at which 1.2 intensity ratio occurs above the peak 82½° 78° to 84°
Intensity ratio at the horizontal 0.13 0.6 Maximum
Divergence of beam centre from the axis of the road in azimuth 15° Maximum


Light distribution data are given for the guidance of the lighting engineer and represent the average results of laboratory tests on a number of lanterns taken at random from stock. The data are based on the lamp characteristics stated; if the latest lamp efficiency is different, the candela or lumen values should be calculated in direct proportion to the relative lamp lumens.




(1) Prinicple vertical polar curve.
(2) Polar curve in vertical plane parallel to street.
(3) Principle conical polar curve.

The above iso-candela diagram is based on an average lamp light output through life from a
400-watt Osram MBF/U elliptical mercury lamp, 20,000 lumens average, applicable at time of print.
