CLEARSIDE 5670/1/8/9 LANTERNS
FOR OSRAM TUNGSTEN, MERCURY AND SODIUM LAMPS



Specification
Clearside 5670/1/8/9


USE
Side road lighting, 13-15 ft (3.96-4.57 m) mounting height, spacing 100-120 ft (30.48-36.58 m) for best results. Road width up to 30 ft (9.14 m). This lantern is also very suitable for decorative garden, promenade and balustrade lighting, new housing estates, space lighting in front of offices, blocks of flats and halls.


LAMPS
Z5670 for use with 60-200 watt Osram tungsten filament lamp, B.C. cap.
Z5671 for use with 80-125W Osram MB/U or MBF/U colour corrected mercury lamp, three-pin B.C. cap.
Z5678 for use with 45-60W Osram SOI/H or 40W Osram SOX sodium lamp.
Z5679 for use with 80-125W Osram MB/U or MBF/U colour corrected mercury lamp but supplied without a prismatic dome refractor.


MOUNTING
Post top spigot cap for a 3 in. (76.2 mm) diameter x 3 in. (76.2 mm) high spigot. The lantern is secured by three 7/16 in. diameter Allen-type grub screws in the spigot cap.

The lantern can be supplied with a collar insert for the spigot cap to fit a 2.3/8 in. diameter spigot. This must be specified when ordering.

LANTERN BODY
The body consists of a truncated moulded "Diakon" cone held between a cast aluminium base incorporating the spigot cap, and a die-cast light alloy upper rim.

Two vertical rods join the base to the upper rim. A casting which slides on these rods carries the lampholder. This enables the lantern to be focused for the full range of lamp wattages shown.

The light aluminium cast top canopy is hinged to the upper rim and secured when closed by a quick release stainless steel toggle catch. The prismatic glass dome refractor is secured to its supporting plate by spring clips. The plate is held in position by two short vertical rods screwed into the lantern canopy.

The lantern body is fitted with a terminal block, cable cleat and earthing screw. Two heat-resisting leads are wired to the terminal block for connecting to the lampholder. The lampholder is supplied separately.


OPTICAL SYSTEM
A dome refractor controls the light distribution:
160 degrees non-axial asymmetric, main light output up and down the street just away from the kerb, with Z6508 (ref. letter "N") dome refractor

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.

The polar curves are based on an average lamp light output through life from a 100-watt Osram lamp (1160 lumens average).

Directional intensity ratio: 1.4
Light above horizontal: 12%
Light output ratio: 70-75%
Lumens in the lower hemisphere: 810

1. Light distribution in a vertical plane through maximum intensity.
2. Light distribution around the lantern at 80° to the vertical.

LANTERN WEIGHT: 12lb (5.4 kg).



FINISH
The alloy used is specially selected for its resistance to corrosion and is processed to give a pleasing apperance.
