Street lighting equipment was originally part of the general lighting division (F)
until 1932. Then it was separated into its own street lighting division (Z). Therefore
early lantern have F catalogue prefixes whilst later ones have Z catalogue prefixes and
those that straddle the change will have two different catalogue numbers.

fa 8160/61: city
Designed for use with GLS lamps of all sizes. Body made from steel and cast iron which is finished
vitreous enamel green outside and white for the reflecting surface. (Spun steel reflector is used for
general use whilst cast iron reflector is used for extremely exposed positions). The reflectors are designed to give
a very wide dispersion of light. Special attention is given to the ventilation of the lantern and a novel
sytem has been introduced which allows a current of air to be drawn continuously
over the lamp. The lantern also has simple yet substantial focusing device, which uses a rachet to hold the
lamp. Can be fitted with clear flint or opalescent glass globes which are wired to minimise the risk of
accident through breakage while suspended. Safety chains are also provided so that globes can be lowered for
cleaning. Both the series-running City lantern and Metropolitan lantern (see FA8168 and FA8169/70 below) are based on
design features of this lantern.

fb 509: longitudinal lighting lantern "globe" type
British Patents: 152050, 10048 (Held by Haydn T. Harrision)
One of the "Directive System Of Street Lighting Lanterns." Hitherto Street Lighting Lanterns have been designed to
distribute the light downwards so that each unit illuminated a circular area. In the Directive System, nearly all
the luminous energy of the light source is used for illuminating the long narrow area represented by a street, with
the results: (1) The minimum illumination is 10 to 20 times that obtained with the existing types of street fittings,
depending on the width of the street; (2) The small but efficient light source of high intrinsic brilliancy presented
by the modern incandescent electric lamp becomes a large and pleasingly illuminated area; (3) The cost, both for
electrical energy and for maintenance, including lamp renewals, is reduced; (4) For a small outlay, existing installations
can be brought up-to-date, to provide the standard of street lighting which is now necessary to prevent accidents under
modern traffic conditions. The light distribution of these lanterns comprised two distinct parts. The lower hemispherical
flux of the lamp is not modified but is allowed to fulfil its normal function of illuminating the street or road
adjacent to the lamp. The upper hemispherical distribution, which is generally used to very small advantage, is, in
this system, collected by a specially designed reflector, and is directed upon two plane mirrors arranged radially
from the light source at such angles as will produce powerful illumination up and down the street. These mirrors are
so adjusted that they begin to illuminate the street at the points where the direct light fails to bring the illumination
up to the required standard. Adjustments of the angles of the plane mirrors can be made to allow for different distances
between lamps and to suit various widths of street.

Later sold as the Z 5411 P.L.A.
Specially designed for dock lighting. The lamp is completely screened, and
special attention has been paid to the securing and the strength and robustness which are so essential in lanterns
used for such purposes. The top is fitted with a patented ventilated device operating on the ejector principle
similar to that which has proved so successful on our well-known "WEMBLEY" Lanterns. The body is constructed of heavy
gauge copper, finished stove enamelled green outside, and includes a Single Piece "Gecoray" Silvered Glass Reflector of
special contour. The reflector is so designed to give an angle of cut-off of 65° for the prevention of glare. The mounting
height recommended is from 30 to 35 feet, with a spacing of 110 feet apart.

f 5156/57/58/59/60/61: directional reflector
Later sold as the Z 5201/16 range.
Is of the open reflector form. Can be supplied in various types providing an asymmetric distribution of light
in two, three or four directions at angles to suit varying road widths, junctions, intersections and mounting
arrangements. Silvered mirrored glass reflectors normally used but white opal glass can be substituted if desired.
(Opal glass has an extremely long life when employed in corrosive or humid atmospheres but the intensity
of the peak candle power is not so high as for mirror reflectors).
The silvered mirror reflectors are of a single piece of glass bent ot the correct contour and cemented into
the cast iron backings. Diffusing glass is used to prevent glare as the whole of the surface appears
equally illuminated. The distribution is wider than htat provided by other similar types of unit
and the intensity of the peak candle power is higher, due to the greater control of light effected by
the larger surface area of the reflectors. The cast iron backings are easily detachable from the top
and body of the fitting for: (1) Nesting for packing and stocking; (2) Facilitating wiring and erection;
(3) For replacements and (4) Interchangeability. For use with clear OSRAM lamps. Standard taping
¾" gas. Focussing screw accessible and rapid. Stout durable copper body (top cylinder). Standard
finish is green.

The series of "Wembley" lanterns has been evolved as the result of many years of experience and research work.
They incorporate a number of special features for ease of maintenance and maximum efficiency. The refractors are
designed to give the maximum light output and ideal candle power distribution. This family are totally enclosed and
therefore dustproof. An occasional wiping of the outer globe is all that is generally necessary to maintain maximum
illumination. The interior will only need attention in this respect at the end of long periods and this can be done
when it is necessary for the lanterns to be opened for lamp renewal purposes. (see F 5441/7 above). Can take

fc 6046/47/47a: wembley
British Patent: 217029
British Patent: 11025/30
Made from heavy gauge sheet copper. Enamelled green outside and white inside for reflecting
surfaces. With copper top and ventilator. The ventilator is a patented device operating on the ejector
principle is fitted combining extreme simplicity with highefficiency. This device causes a steady stream
of air to be drawn into the lantern and ejected from beneath thetop cowl. Exhaustive tests have been
carried out with this ventilating device, special attention being given tolamp performance. The result
of these tests demonstrates convincingly that the ventilation is such as to safeguard the lamp from
overheating and consequent reduction in normal life. The focusing device is a special patented feature
which enables the lamp to be raised or lowered inside the prismatic refractor,thus varying the distribution
of light to suit the height and spacing of units. All such adjustments in the largersize "WEMBLEY" lanterns
are made from the outside without opening the lantern in any way. The lamp is lowered until the filament
is sighted across the bottom edge of the refractor; the knob is turned a predetermined number of times
to the right, and adjustments can be made to the 1/100th part of an inch. The lantern is made in various sizes
to accommodate OSRAM gasfilled lamps of either 100 or 1500 watts, suitable for main thoroughfares,
suburban streets and residential areas. The light emission is ideal for street lighting, the maximum candle-power
being given at the useful angle of 70° from the vertical. The 300-500W GLS model (FC.6047) could be
converted for use with OSIRA lamps by means of general conversion units - likewise the 1000-1500W GLS
model could also be converted with similar kits.

z 3200: arp lantern
Conforms to BS ARP/37 for wartime use. The GEC is manufacturing units for 20' nominal mounting height which are rated at 60W. The range has been
extended to include units for use with 40W lamps at 15'; and 25W and 15W lamps at various heights. The units which
are either: (1)
Held rigidly by the existing lantern body; (2) Supported from the existing lampholder; (3) Comprise entire weatherproof
units which can be screwed onto bracket arms. Fixing to the lantern body is recommended in all possible cases and is
considerd essential for lanterns suspended from tall columns or traction poles where considerable vibration exists.
In designing this type, the main consideration has been to ease in fixing to existing lanterns to avoid the cost and labour
involved in removing lanterns or rewiring them. The unit consists of two main parts, the light controlling device and
its fixed support. Where units are supported from the lantern body, rewiring of the lampholders or existing leads can
be avoided by the use of a special GEC connector. This consists of a flexible lead with an adaptor at the end
for fitting into the existing lampholder and at the other end the lampholder for the new unit. There are two
ranges of units employing different optical systems, providing correct light distribution: one designed for 15W/25W lamps,
and the other for 40W/60W lamps. While the 15W/25W lamps provide sufficient light, the more robust higher wattage lamps
are favoured by many engineers for withstanding the vibration at the top of tall columns, particularly traction poles,
due to traffic and windage.
The Z3200 range for 60W and 40W lamps is constructed of lead-coated sheet steel incorporating a special lighting
device. This consists essentially of a secondary light source provided by a flashed opal glas disc accurately screened
by a perforated metal plate. The light control is completed by a second screen. The bottom is detachable for maintenance.
All three methods of support are available.

z 5130 | clearspace z 5130
Refractor: Z 6504, Z 6510 or Z 6516
Bowl: Z 6475
One of the "Clearspace" range. This lantern is solely designed for outdoor sub-station lighting.
It has been approved by the C.E.G.B. for use in their sub-stations. It is intended for mounting at
a height of 8-10 ft. above ground. A special 8 ft. pivoted steel column has been designed for
use with the lantern so that it can be maintained by a man standing on the ground. The lantern is
designed to project a concentration of light at angles of 10° to 20° above the horizontal
where it is most needed, and to restrict intensities at and below the horizontal.
Control of the light distribution is obtained by the use of a prismatic glass refractor. Three types
of refractor are available: symmetric distribution (S) (Z 6504); non-axial distribution (N) (Z 6510)
and axial asymmetric (A) (Z 6516). The
choice of refractor depends upon the relative positions, as seen in plan, of the lantern and
the apparatus requiring most illumination.
The entry at the bottom of the lantern is tapped 1½in. B.S.P.; a grub screw is fitted for
locking the lantern on to the support.
The lantern body is of non-ferrous cast alloy, specially selected for its resistance to
corrosion. It has a cast alloy hinged ring holding the glass globe which can be swung open to give
access to the interior. These alloy castings are Pyluminised and finished stove enamelled aluminium
colour. The lantern is totally enclosed and dust proof, a neoprene gasket being provided on the
lip of the glass globe. The hinge pin, screw fastener and screws exposed to the weather are of
stainless steel.
An aluminium heat baffle is provided above the lamp to prevent excessive heating of the special
glass globe. The refractor is supported on a white vitreous enamelled plate and held in position
with spring clips.
A double-headed arrow on the outside of the lantern indicates the direction of the main beams of
light, and both the refractor and refractor plate can be fixed in only one direction.

z 5201/02/03/04/05/06/11/12/14/15/16: open type reflectors
Previously sold as the F 5156/61 range.
G.E.C. directional street lighting reflectors, open pattern, can be supplied in various types for
providing an asymmetric distribution of light in two, three or four directions at angles between the reflectors to
suit varying road widths, junctions, intersections and mounting.
These are fitted with single piece silvered glass mirrors bent to the correct contour, and cemented into
cast iron backings which assist in ensuring long life to the silvered surfaces. Diffusing glass used to prevent
objectional glare, as with it the whole of the surface appears equally illuminated.
The cast iron backing holding the silvered glass reflectors are easily detachable from the top and body of the
fitting by unscrewing two nuts. This facilitates nesting for packing and stocking; wiring and erection; replacement
in the event of breakage; and has the additional great advantage of interchange ability, as tops and bodies are
universal for all patterns.
Robust cast iron top. External focusing screw, heavy gauge copper body. Single piece English-made diffusing
mirror glasses secured by special cement in protecting iron casting.
Standard tapping, ¾-in. gas.
Standard finish - Green

z 5221/22/23/25/26/27: facet directional lantern
Introduced in 1946. Rather unorthorox in general design. It is a Wing Directional
lantern, the main body being a one-piece light alloy die casting with each wing holding 6
flat mirror facets. A spun, light alloy detachable top gives access to the lampholder and
focusing bridge. Produces a directional type of lighting and is mainly for use on Class B roads. It will accommodate
Osram fialment lamps between 60 and 200 watts, or 80 and 125-watt Osira H.P.M.V. lamps. There are six mirror facets in each of the two wings.
The facets are identical, removable and interchangeable so that replacement can easily be effected. The lantern compiles with the M.O.T. requirements
relating to glare ratio. Side-entry suspension at 30° from the vertical ensures that no condensation can enter the lantern from
the bracket.
For side road lighting, mounting height 13 ft. - 15 ft. and spacing 100 ft. - 120 ft. Greater spacing will produce
dark areas midway between lanterns. For road widths up to 30 ft. Two forms of lantern body can be supplied. One is top
entry ¾ in. gas, the other is sloping side entry 1 in. gas barrel unthreaded. In the latter case a ¼ in.
Allen grub screw locks the lantern to the bracket. Each body is made of die-cast light alloy and consists of two
detachable wings, a main body casting and a top, which, in the case of the sloping side entry form, is a light alloy
spinning. An earthing screw is provided. Each wing carries six identical facet mirrors, therse are silvered and lead
backed and held in position by lead clips. In the event of damage, replacement is simple. The light distribution is very
good and the glare ratio conforms to the recommendations of the M.O.T. Final Report 1937, though it is necessary, when
used with H.P.M.V. Lamps, to replace the four lower mirror facets with pot opal facets. If this is not done, the
directional intensity ratio is about 5.5. The lampholder is carried on a bridge piece which slides on two vertical rods.
One rod is marked with the correct focal positions for the various wattages of lamp. The light alloy is
spcially selected for its resistance to corrosion. Further protection is obtained by the use of a suitable
primer, undercoat and matt aluminium top coat.

z 5401/02/03: club foot
British Patent: 340551
Previously sold as the F 5163/5 Asymmetric Reflector
The above reflector fitting, which is of the open type, consists of a cast iron body, painted green outside,
equipped with a cemented-in asymmetric type silvered glass interior reflector, of special contour, arranged to
direct the light up and down the street and over the roadway in such a manner as to increase materially the
lighting at the point midway between the standards, where the illumination is usually very low.
It is particularly easy to clean as the interior surface of the reflector is quite smooth. The actual lamp filament
is screened for view when approaching, thereby preventing glare.
The fitting is most suitable for use at low mounting heights and normal spacing. Standard tapping for fixing
is ½-in. gas thread.

Previously sold as the F 5155
Has been specially designed to comply with the Port of London Authority requirement
for docks, also for use in car parks, factory yards, etc. The lamp filament is screened, and special attention
has been paid to the securing of the strength and robustness which are so essential in lanterns used for
such purposes. The top is fitted with a special ventilated device operating on the ejector principle. The
body is constructed of heavy gauge copper, finished stove enamelled green outisde, and includes a single-piece
"Gecoray" silvered glass reflector of special contour. The reflector is so designed as to give an angle of
cut-off of 65° for the prevention of glare. Adjustment can be made to give an angle of cut-off of
65° for the prevention of glare. Adjustment can be made to give an angle of cut-off up to 71° where
it is necessary to increase the distance apart. The mounting height recommended is from 30 to 35 feet,
with a spacing of 110 feet apart.
The body is of heavy gauge copper, non-ventilated and finished green. Fitted with a single-piece "Gecoray"
reflector. Of light weight construction and very neat appearance.
Maximum peak candle power intensity at an angle of 57° can be obtained with 65° cut-off.

z 5515: small oxford
Refractors: Z 6607 and Z 6501
See also: Z 8155
Totally enclosed dust-proof lantern, specially designed for low wattage OSRAM gasfilled lamps constructed of heavy gauge
spun copper body with cast iron top, omplete with porcelain enamelled steel inner and outer reflectors. The outer reflector
is hinged and provided with a locating notch for a G.E.C. prismatic glass bowl refractor, which, with a felt gasket, makes
the lantern dustproof. An inner symmetric refractor converts the light from the OSRAM lamp to the vertical shaped source
for correct light distribution by the outer bowl refractor. An external focusing knob is provided so that the correct positions
of the different wattage lamps can be immediately obtained. The lantern is supplied with a felt gasket. The patent G.E.C.
top connecting box, designed to eliminate lamp failure due to water drip or condensation, is wired with heat-resisting leads
to an E.S. porcelain lampholder.
The external finish of the lantern is aluminium colour with all reflecting surfaces heavy vitreous enamlled. An important
feature of this lantern is that by the removal of the inner symmetric refractor and the replacement of the inner reflector
by one of a different shape the lantern becomes suitable for use with the 80 and 125-watt discharge lamps.

British Patents: 458617, 424800, 408419, 427835, 876831
Refractors: Z 6609 and Z 6503
Introduced in 1936. First installation along Banbury Road, Oxford. For main road lighting.
Designed to use the GLS lamp with the MA/V Glass Bowl Refractor - therefore an inner symmetric
dome refractor is used to produce the vertically shaped light source for control by the
outer bowl refractor.
Totally enclosed dust-proof lantern for use with 300/500-watt OSRAM gasfilled lamps, body constructed of heavy gauge
spun copper with porcelain enamelled steel inner and outer reflectors. The outer reflector is hinged and provided with
a locating notch for a G.E.C. single piece prismatic glass bowl refractor. This refractor was specially developed and
designed by the G.E.C. research laboratories, and is identical with that used on the Di-fractor lanterns. It produces a very
high standard of road brightness and at teh same time the whole surface of the bowl appears evenly illuminated, so avoiding
the glare which is produced by less carefully designed imitations on which only a small section is flashed. An
inner symmetric refractor prodcues the necessary vertical shaped light souce for control by the outer glass bowl refractor. An
external focusing knob is provided so that the correct positions for the different sized lamps can be immediately obtained.
The lantern is supplied with a felt gask and a wire net. The patent G.E.C. top connecting box designed to eliminate all
danger of lamp failure due to water drop and condensation is wired with heat-resisting leads to the G.E.S. porcelain holder.
The external finish of the lantern is aluminium colour with all reflecting surfaces heavily vitreous enamelled.
An important feature of this lantern is that by removal of the inner symmetric refractor and the replacement of
the inner reflector by one of different shape, the lantern becomes suitable for use with OSRIA lamps.

Refractor: Z6502, Z6508 or Z6514
Bowl: Z 6465
Introduced in 1945 as part of a rationalised new range. The body of copper follows
the outline of the Side-Entry
Di-Fractor lantern (Z8128). Probably designed in copper to
"utilise available production facilities to the full" in the post-war
environment. For side street lighting, employing a single lantern body,
and a variety of optical glasses - any required type of light distribution -
can be obtained. An internal lamp positioning device enables Osram lamps up
to 200W or Osira HPMV lamps up to 125W to be used.
For side road lighting; mounting height 13ft. - 15ft.; spacing 100 ft. - 120 ft. for best results.
Greater spacing will produce dark areas midway between lanterns. Road width up to 30 ft. Also suitable
for space or area lighting.
Top entry. The lantern entry is ¾ in. gas. The lantern is locked to the bracket by a ¼ in.
Allen type grub screw. There are two ranges of lantern body: A spun non-ferrous body (Z.5540/1/2) or
a die-cast light alloy body (Z.5550/1/2). An earthing screw is provided. 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.
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.
The dome refractor is held by three spring supports from a white enamelled inner reflector.
Fitted with the clear globe (acorn shaped) bowl Z 6465.
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.

z 5543b/45sb/46sb/47sb/48b/49b/55sb/56sb/57sb/58b/59b: small oxford
British Patents: 408419 and 458617
Refractor: Z6502
Bowl: Z6607
This lantern is of the totally-enclosed type and can be used with either Osram filament, or Osira discharge lamps
of small denomination. The body is of spun copper, with a reinforced top. Variable focuing is provided and the light distribution
is controlled by a small bowl refractor in combination with an inner symmetric dome refractor.
Side road lighting; 13-15 ft. mounting height; spacing 100-120 ft. for best results. Greater spacing will produce dark areas midway between
lanterns. Road width up to 30 ft. Also suitable for space or area lighting. Top entry. The lantern entry is ¾ in. gas. The lantern is locked to the
bracket by a ¼ in. Allen type grub screw. There are two lantern body ranges: 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. 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.
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. 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. 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.

Bowl: Z6606 or Z6644
One of the "Clearside" range for Group B roads. Part of a family of lanterns with different
optical systems.
For side road lighting a bowl refractor should be fitted and the lanterns arranged at
13-15 ft. (3.98 - 4.57 m) mounting height; spaced 100-120 ft. (30.48 - 36.55 m) apart for
best results. Greater spacing will produce dark areas midway between lanterns. Road width
up to 30 ft.
Top entry tapped 3/4 in. B.S.P. The lantern is locked to the bracket by a 1/4 in. dia. Allen

z 5580bp/81bp/82bp | clearside 5580bp/81bp/82bp
Bowl: Z6708
One of the "Clearside" range for Group B roads. Part of a family of lanterns with different
optical systems.
For side road lighting a bowl refractor should be fitted and the lanterns arranged at
13-15 ft. (3.98 - 4.57 m) mounting height; spaced 100-120 ft. (30.48 - 36.55 m) apart for
best results. Greater spacing will produce dark areas midway between lanterns. Road width
up to 30 ft.
Top entry tapped 3/4 in. B.S.P. The lantern is locked to the bracket by a 1/4 in. dia. Allen
type grub screw.
Die-cast light alloy body, approximately 10 in. dia. (254 mm). A die-cast light alloy ring,
hinged to the body and secured by a toggle catch, supports the enclosing bowl in use. The bowl
is held in the ring by stainless steel clips permitting quick and easy removal. Two special
synthetic rubber gaskets ensure a weatherproof seal when the lantern is closed. A cranked
bridge-piece attachable to various pairs of lugs within the lantern body provides adjustment
for the range of lamps that can be used.
The light alloy body is specially selected for its resistance to corrosion. Further protection is
obtained by the use of a special one-coat aluminium-finish stove enamel.
Fitted with the Z6708 170° non-axial asymmetric injection moulded 'Diakon' bowl
refractor. Weight: Z5580/1/2/ BP: 4½lb.

z 8001: watford lantern
British Patents: 408419 and 414726
G.E.C. Registered Design: 781091
Refractor: Z6301
The first lantern to use a discharge lamp. First installation along Watford Road, Wembely in March 1933. For main road lighting.
Gives a non-cut-off distribution. Primary optical system consists of two
refractor plates which spread the main beams in azimuth to spread the light across the road - no attempts are made to try to control the light
in a vertical plane as it results in a patchy distribution. Secondary lighting system includes an white over-reflector and large base fitted with
a diffuser - this is an attempt to increase the flux emitted directed below the lamp and increase the illumination below the lantern to
avoid "dark patches." As the MA lamp burns hot, a metal framed lantern is used with special heat-resisting glass. Condensation along the
bracket arm will break the MA lamp if dripped upon, so the lantern is fixed to the column by means of four, horizontal, separate
side-bracket arms.. According to Gregory in 1940, the lantern "was particularly designed to avoid
glare and give a good road brightness therefore becoming the first lantern consciously designed to produce
high background brightness instead of high object brightness. Totally enclosed dust-proof lantern, specially designed for OSIRA lamps.
Constructed of heavy gauge copper on cast gunmetal frame and provided with hinged bottom panel
to give access for cleaning and re-lamping.The outer surfaces are finished aluminium. The lantern is
supplied complete with porcelain enamel inner reflector and two special prismatic glass plate refractors
to suit the light distribution of the OSIRA lamps. The lantern is glazed with spreader glasses, which give,
in conjunction with the plate refractors,an asymmetric light distribution producing high and even road
brightness. Fitted with external weatherproof connecting box, and wired internally with special
heat-resisting conductors between the connecting box and G.E.S. porcelain lampholder, the latter being
adjustable to vary the direction of the main beams. Had four bracket options: Z2001 for mounting to poles,
Z2002 for mounting to flat walls, Z2003 for lantern and Z1900/9/11 box and Z2004 simplified bracket for
flat walls. External finish is aluminium colour.

Refractor: Z6300
Totally enclosed dust-proof lantern specially designed for OSIRA lamps. It has an ornamental stepped cast top with an iron frame body, and it
is provided with a hinged bottom panel to give access for cleaning and re-lamping. The lantern is supplied complete with porcelain enamelled
inner reflector and two special prismatic glass plate refractors to suit the light distribution of the OSIRA lamp. The lantenr is glazed with

which is so necesary if the road is to be well lighted. The lantern has been designed for use with either 150 or 250-watt OSIRA lamps. When
used with 150-watt lamp an E.S> porcelain holder is required, but it is necessary to employ a G.E.S. porcelain lampholder when
a 250-watt OSIRA lamp is in use. The lampholder is wired with heat-resisting leads to a connecting terminal block. A focusing device
alters the asymmetery of the main light beams. A standard size of pole clamp is supplied enabling the lantern to be attached to poles
of diameter between 4½in. and 5½in. The external finish of the lantern is aluminium colour.

Refractor: Z6607
A specially designed lantern to take the 150W MA/V lamp. Introduced in 1936.
Totally enclosed dust-proof lantern, specially designed for 150-watt OSIRA lamps. The lantern has a cast-iron top with a dome-shaped spun
copper body with vitreous enamelled inner and outer reflectors. The lantern is notched to located the refractor which is held by the hinged

z 8122: di-fractor lantern
British Patents: 408419
Refractor: Z6609
This is the first version of the Di-Fractor Lantern to use the Glass Bowl Refractor-Diffuser designed for
use with MA/V lamps.
Totally enclosed dust-proof lantern, specially designed for OSIRA lamps. The body is of heavy guage
copper with porcelain enamel steel inner and outer reflectors. The outer reflector is hinged and
provided with a locating notch for the G.E.C. single piece prismatic bowl refractor-diffuser
(Z 6609), which also acts as a dust-proof outer globe. The refractor has a non-axial asymmetric
distribution, the two main beams being 160° apart in plan. The patented combination of refracting
prisms and diffusing flutes provides a high degree of light control together with an increase of flashed
area, the resultant distribution giving high and even road-brighness with a minimum of glare. The incorporation
of refractor, diffuser and outer globe in one piece of accurate glassware gives a low absorption
high efficiency unit. The possibility of lamp failures due to water-drop or condensation is entirely
eliminated by the patent top connecting box.
The narrow canopy may have proved problematic for heat dissipation from
the hot MA/V lamp hence the far wider designs used later.

by the patented G.E.C. top connecting box which is wired with heat-resisting leads to the G.E.S. porcelain
lampholder, which can be used in either of two positions so that the lantern is suitable for both 250 and 400-watt
OSIRA lamps.
The external finish of the lantern is aluminium colour with all reflecting surfaces heavily vitreous enamelled.

z 8125: fulham di-fractor lantern
British Patents: 408419, 427835 and 424800.
Refractor: Z6609
Named after the first installation in Fulham, where the installation along the Fulham High Road was used to
outline the importance of siting and light distribution for high, uniform road brightness. This installation which was inaugurated
in February 1937 and included 460 lanterns. The largest installation using these lanterns was probably
in Deptford in 1937.
Uses a patented combination of internal refracting flutes and external diffusing flutes
which makes the night time appearance very pleasant since the whole refractor bowl appears uniformally
bright and free from small areas of intense brightness which would produce glare. It enables long
stretches of road to be illuminated in the most economical matter possible. Its optical design is
such that light is emitted at high angles from the vertical, which makes it possible to
employ the reflection properties of the road to their full extent, and to mount the lanterns more
than 50 yards or more apart.
Totally enclosed dust-proof lantern, specially designed for use with 250-watt and 400-watt OSIRA lamps. Constructed of heavy gauge copper
with porcelain enamelled steel inner and outer reflectors.
The outer reflector is hinged and provided with a locating notch for a G.E.C. single piece prismatic bowl refractor, which also
acts as a dust-proof outer globe. The light distribution is non-axial asymmetric, the main beams being 160° in plan. The G.E.C.
patented bowl refractor enables so good a control of light to be obtained that a very high degree of road brightness is produced,
and this is now the criterion by which street lighting should be judged. The lantern is wired with heat-resisting leads from the
patent top connecting box, specially designed to eliminate all danger of lamp failure due to water drop or condensation.
A two-positioned G.E.S. porcelain lampholder enables the lantern to be used with 250 or 400-watt lamps. A felt ring is provided for the
refractor bowl.
The external finish of the lantern is aluminium colour with all reflecting surfaces heavy vitreous enamlled.

z 8134b/5b/7b/8b: universal "difractor" lantern
British Patent: 408419
Bowl: Z 6610
Used for main road lighting; 25 ft. mounting height; spacing 120-150 ft; road width up to 40 ft. Has both
top and side entry options (hence the "universal" label) with additional option for a levelling top. (A levelling top on the ball and socket
principle is provided on the Z.8134 and Z.8137 body. This enables small variations from the vertical of the lantern to be corrected).
Die-cast light alloy. The body consists of a main bell-shaped casting containing the focusing gear and lampholder. On the top of the body a
small "umbrella" shaped casting prtects the weathered cable entry and porcelain terminal block from water-drip. This "umbrella" and the terminal
block are enclosed by a hinged cap which is secured by two fixing bolts to the main body. Two toggle action catches, one of which acts as a
hinge, support the outer over-reflector which holds the bowl refractor. An earthing screw is provided.
The lampholder is a G.E.S. porcleain holder wired to the terminal block with heat-resisting wire. An anti-vibration mounting can be provided.
The lampholder is mounted on a bridge which is carried on two vertical pillars. A spring-loaded catch ensures that the bridge is locked
into the correct focal position for the type of lamp in use. The refractor is made in one piece of heat-resisting glass and is a Z.6610
non-axial asymmetric bowl refractor. It has vertical curved prisms and deep flutes on the interior surface to provide light control. The exterior of the
bowl is smooth except for some prisms on the base. A white enamelled inner reflector is held in place by an expanding spring ring. Constriction
of this ring releases the reflector, giving access for focusing and maintenace.
The alloy used is specially selected for its resistance to corrosion. Further protection is obtained by the use of a suitable primer,
undercoat and glossy aluminium top coat.

z 8155: small oxford lantern
British Patents: 458617, 424800, 408419, 427835 and 376831.
Refractors: Z 6607 and Z 6501
See also: Z 5515
The outer refractor of this unit is used with the normal long-source
HPMV lamp but it operates successfully with the short source and dome
refractor. The effects of the horizontal prisms on the dome is to make the
small source approximately equivalent optically to the long source lamp.
The form of the light distribution below the horizontal is therefore comparable
with that of the higher wattage units.
A totally enclosed dust-proof lantern specially designed for use with 80 and 125 watt OSIRA lamps. The lantern has a heavy
gauge spun copper body with a cast iron top. The are inner and outer vitreous enamelled steel reflectors, the
outer being hinged and provided with a locating notch to ensure the corrrect alignment of the prismatic glass bowl refractor
Z 6607. The prismatic bowl refractor controls in plan the light which is bent downwards by the inner
symmetric dome refractor Z 6501 as well as the direct light from the lamp, thus providing that high standard of
road brightness whcih is now considered essential if good visibility is to be obtained. The light distribution is 160°
non-axial asymmertic.
The lantern is fitted with a 3-slot B.C. lampholder which is wired with heat-resisting leads to the G.E.C. patent
connecting box. This has been specially designed to eliminate all danger of lamp failure due to water drip or condensation.
The lampholder can be raised or lowered by means of a knurled knob projecting from the cast top, and the correct focal
position for whichever wattage lamp in use can then be obtained.
The lantern can also be used with OSRAM tungsten filament lamps. It is then necessary to emply an E.S. lampholder.
The external finish of the lantern is aluminium colour and all reflecting surfaces are white vitreous enamelled.

z 8181: "one-eighty" lantern
Developed in 1947 after the company were approached by Bournemouth Council to light "The Lansdowne", a busy new roundabout which already
has a significant number of trolley bus traction columns and span-wires. The GEC create four single tube fluorescent cut-off
units as a trial - it's so successful that another twenty-one units are made to complete the Lansdowne installation. The firm then
put the lantern into production as the Z 8181.
25 ft. mounting height; 50-60 ft. spacing; on narrow roads central suspension will give the best results, but on other roads
it will generally be necessary to adopt a double-sided arrangement.
This lantern has a cut-off distribution and no light is emitted above the horizontal. The peak candle power is at about 60°
to the vertical and above this angle the intensities fall off very rapidly.
The excellent colour rendering of the 80 watt OSRAM fluorescent lamp makes this lantern suitable for use in shopping areas and
wherever pedestrian traffic is heavy. The low wattage and type of light distribution makes it necessary to use the lantern
at short spacings.
It has also been found that cut-off lighting gives the best visibility at roundabouts, where normally the number of
lanterns that can be seen may cause confusion.
Two clamps on the lantern roof secure the lantern to a horizontal bracket arm which must be a minimum length of 4 ft. Bracket
tubing of ¾ in. - 1½ in. gas cane be used. For spanwire suspension, spanwire clamps are provided. The lantern
fitted with auxiliaries weighs approximately 38 lbs. (17.2 kgs).
The body is made of copper, with a cable entry at one end. The lantern is totally-enclosed by a hinged glass door which
is secured by two catches and when opened enables the interior to be cleaned or the lamp replaced. There is an inner
reflector running the length of the lantern immediately above the lamp. Removal of this gives access to the fixings
provided for the G.E.C. choke, capacitor and starter. An earthing screw is provided.
The lamp is carried in specially positioned spring clips so that no focusing is necessary.
The lantern is white enamelled internally and shaped so as to provide suitable control of the light emitted from the
lamp. The exterior of the lantern is finished glossy aluminium with a suitable undercoat.

z8224: post top mounting di-fuser
Opal bowl: Z6468
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.

made from heavy gauge spun copper. The detachable 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.
The optical system consists of a G.E.C. patent prismatic glass bowl refractor Z 6609. This refractor produces a high-grade
road brightness with absence of glare. The light distribution from it is non-axial asymmetric, the main beams being 160°
in plan. Also supplied with an axial asymmetric light distribution. It hs been more carefully designed by our Research
Laboratories, and besides being optically efficient, it also acts as a completely dust-proof outer globe. It is held to
the main body by a hinged cast ring which is secured by a lug and two spring fasteners, there is a slot in the ring to align
the refractor with the body, the axis of the arms being at right angles to the road. A G.E.S. porcelain lampholder can also
be used in two positions, so that the lantern is suitable for 250 and 400-watt OSIRA lamps. It is wired from the lampholder to
a terminal block by means of heat resisting leads. Access to this by removal of the copper top. The external finish of the
lantern is aluminium colour and all reflecting surfaces are heavily vitreous enamelled.

z 8405: pla-fractor lantern
Intended for secondary road lighting. The optical design is such that light is produced at angles
up to about 80 degrees from the vertical. The optical system is a single piece of pressed hard glass.
The upper portion is silvered to form a reflector and the lower portion forms a prismatic band
refractor which redirects the light reflected from the upper mirror portion in directions up
and down the roadway. The silvered dome of hte fitting concentrates some of the light
from the lamp on to the ring of prisms and some directly on to the surface of the
carriageway. The light falling on the prismatic part is first concentrated and
then spread the required amount by a series of shallow, external flues which results
in a diffusionof the bright area over the whole width of the prism and the
flute band.
An open type lantern specially designed for use with 80 and 125-watt OSIRA lamps. The body consists of a single
piece refractor of special G.E.C. heat-resisting glass, the reflector portion being silvered, coppered and lead-backed,
and is therefore weather resisting. The reflector contour is basned on the design of the well known G.E.C. P.L.A.
lantern, whilst the prisms mounted on the bottom band are of identical design to those on the G.E.C. prismatic bowl refractor
and produce a 160° non-axial asymmetric light distribution. The prismatic refractor contols in plan the light
which is reflected from the silvered portion of the glass, and well as direct light from the lamp, thus providing a
very efficient optical system.
The glass body Z 6557 is securely held in a cast-iron top by an internal copper ring. The cast top has
"Street Side" marked on it, and a locating lug on the reflector ensures this being replaced in the correct position
after cleaning.
The lantern is fitted with a 3-slot B.C. lampholder. This is carried on a reversible nipple, which when screwed home
ensures the correct focal position for either the 80 or 125-watt OSIRA lamp.
The lantern can also be used with OSRAM tungsten filament lamps, and it is then necessary to employ an E.S. lampholder.
The catalogue number of the lantern when employed with filament lamps is Z 5405.

z 8411: uniway | z 8411: uni-directional
British Patent: 523630.
Entirely new system of lighting recently evolved by the GEC in 1938 for dual carriageways.
First installation on Chertsey Road, Twickenham used 250W Osira lamps.
Fitted with 125W Osira lamps and mounted at 25'.
Light is thrown in only one direction only - towards oncoming traffic. This means there
is absolutely no visible light on the other carriageway to distract drivers' attention.
Because of the elimination of wasted light the 125W lamp gives visibilities which would
normally be obtained with 400W lamps. Made of light alloys and totally enclosed.
The front glass is smooth. Over 100 sq. ins. of flashed area provided - every other
lantern in existence has a flashed area of only 60-80 sq. ins.
The outside surface of the glass is smooth to facilitate
cleaning. The "flash" covers an area of more than 100 sq. ins. whereas most ordinary 400W lanterns have a flashed area of only
60-80 sq. ins. Thus, surface brightness of the lantern per square inch is considerably reduced owing to its greater light emitting
area. The lantern is in two parts - a detachable top which the brack arm slides horizontally, giving side-entry mounting, and
the main lantern body. Both parts are made of light alloy castings and the complete unit weights on 15 lbs. The Uniway
lantern is totally enclosed, non-ventilated and completely weatherproof. The front is hinged at one side and secured by simple postive
action snap catches. Access to the lamp and reflector is afforded by the hinged front. The body can be rotated on the bracket arm
so the light can be accurately directed towards the road. For this purpose an orthoptic sighting device is provided to enable
the lantern to be correctly aligned. The lamp is automatically centred and is firmed held in the correct focal position. The
lantern is simply erected, as the top, which weighs only 2lbs., can be slid on the bracket arm and there locked into position.
The leads can be wired to the lampholder in a few moments and the body is connected by self-locking nuts.
Cited by the GEC as one of their important post-war lantern designs.
Inter-way and immediate post-war
emphasis has changed: Although, for the present, authorities are chiefly
interested in the re-instatement of pre-war lighting equipment, the
lighting of arterial roads of the dual carriageway and one-way types will have to
be considered. For these the GEC designed, shortly before the war, a lantern known
as the Uniway specifically to light double carriageway roads. Lighting results comparable with those normally obtained with
400W lamps can be obtained with only 125W in each lantern, the light being directed only
one way towards the traffic. This enables roads to be properly lighted for which the cost had
previously been prohibitive. Revealing power is actually improved compared with normal installations
and driving comfort is increased, as the only light sources to be seen are those on the drivers' own
carriageway. The whole of the light is reflected in one direction towards the oncoming traffic and an
extremely even flash is obtained by the use of a specially designed diffusing glass. This is smooth
on the outside to facilitate cleaning. It is totally enclosed, non-ventilated and completely weatherproof.
The front is hinged on one side with a catch on the other, giving access to the lamp and the reflector.
The body can be rotated universally on the bracket arm so that the light can be accurately directed.

z8421/2: double dish lantern / dioptrion
British Patents: 507688, 585561, 420499 and 436478.
First introduced in 1945 as the "Double Dish Lantern." First installation was in Portsmouth. Gives a controlled cut-off
form of light distribution. Described as a complete
break from conventional design and strikes a new note in modern outline, mechanical
construction and performance. The optical system comprises two prismatic glass oval
dishes, smooth outside to facilitate cleaning, the lower hinged from the upper for
access to the lamp. A top cast supporting body provides a side entry fixing, and
supports internally a magnetic deflector, lampholder and lamp carrier. Renamed the
"Dioptrion" in 1946. The die-cast light alloy body supports two large dish-shaped refractors,
so that over 90° of the lantern surface is transucent. Though most of the upper surface
of the lantern is optical glassware, the design of the refractor is such that practically no
light is directed above the horizontal.
Main road lighting; 25 ft. mounting height; spacing 120 ft optimum, but can be used up to 150 ft. maximum; road width 30-40 ft. For
roads over 40 ft. in width this lantern, with its horizontal burning lamp, will give better results than would be obtainable from
a lantern with a vertical burning light source. Side entry only. The lantern body is die-cast light alloy. The body carries the lampholder, terminal block, cable clamp, heat-resisting wiring, lamp steady, reflector
plate and magnetic deflector. A water baffle and drainage hole are provided to carry off any water running along the bracket. An
earthing screw is provided. It has a porcelain G.E.S lampholder, wired with heat-resisting wire to a terminal block. Immediately above the lamp and hinged at the holder end is a non-magnetic polished reflector. Release of teh catch
holding this allows it to swing down, thus giving access to the bracket entry and terminal block. On the reflector plate is mounted the magnetic deflector which is in series with the lamp and consumes 1 watt. The reflector
plates serves the dual purpose of reflecting light and preventing rising hot air from over-heating the deflector. The use of a magnetic
deflector enables a MA/H lamp with a hard glass outer jacket to be operated at the same efficiency as the normal MA/V lamp. The pressed
prismatic refractors are made of heat-resisting glass and are smooth externally except for three steps in the lower refractor.
The upper refractor is held by the body, and the lower refractor is supported by a steel rim which is held at each end by
cantilever springs. Catches on each spring give a toggle action, while the catch at the bracket end can be unhooked, allowing
the lower refractor to swing down sogiving access to the lantern interior. A special gasket cemented to the lip of the lower refractor
ensures a weatherproof seal when the lantern is closed. The alloy used is specially selected for its
resistance to corrosion. Further protection is obtained by the use of a suitable primer, undercoat and matt aluminium finish top coat.

z 8425/5: horizal
British Patents: 507688, 519484, 420499, 436478 and 408419.
First demonstrated at the Public Works Congress in 1937 (November 15th-20th) and introduced in 1938 for the horizontal burning of Osira High Pressure Mercury Vapour Lamps. Made from light alloys and totally enclosed.
Side mounted with the bracket gripped by drawbolts. Lamp is burned horizontally, the arc being
controlled by a series low loss magnetic deflector.
Optical system consists of two flat prismatic glass plates, sealed hermetically to outer diffiusing
panels with a special plastic cement, thereby preventing dust being deposited in the prisms.
The plates are so arranged that all prisms face inwards so there
are no surfaces to collect dust or dirt. Therefore a smooth face is always presented for cleaning.
Has a controlled cut-off distribution
which limits the spacing to 150 feet. The lantern is totally enclosed, non-ventilated
and completely weatherproof. The side entry method of suspension was developed by the
GEC in early 1938. Cleaning is simple as all surfaces smooth inside and out except for the
hinged bottom panel with is shallowly fluted within. The prismatic plates (sandwiches) are built into
the lantern sides. The magnetic deflector is mounted above a high reflectivity, bright anodised
aluminium reflector. Weights 33lbs. Cited by the GEC as one of the important post-war lanterns.
For main road lighting; 25 ft. mounting height; spacing 120 ft optimum, but can be used up to 150 ft. maximum; road width 30-40 ft. For
roads over 40 ft. in width this lantern, with its horizontal burning lamp, will give better results than would be obtainable from
a lantern with a vertical burning light source. Side entry. Requires a minimum length of 6 in. horizontal unthreaded 1¼ in. gas
barrel When fully home, two 7/16 in. Allen type grub screws grip the barrel. Made from a die-cast light alloy body which carrys the
lampholder, terminal block, lamp steady, reflector plate and magnetic deflector. A water baffle and drainage hole a provided to carry off
any water running along the bracket. A pressed light alloy top gives access to the deflector and an earthing screw is provided.
The porcelain G.E.S. lampholder is wired with heat-resisting wire to a terminal block. The lampholder is pivoted to assist in lamp
withdrawl. Immediately above the lamp is a non-magnetic polished reflector. On the reflector plate is mounted the magnetic deflector which
is in series with the lamp and consumes 1 watt. The reflector
plates serves the dual purpose of reflecting light and preventing rising hot air from over-heating the deflector. The use of a magnetic
deflector enables a MA/H lamp with a hard glass outer jacket to be operated at the same efficiency as the normal MA/V lamp.
There are two windows each fitted with prismatic glass refractors and sealed with lined diffusing cover glasses so that all glass surfaces
are smooth. These windows face up and down the road. An opal panel in the front of the lantern faces across the road whilst
a hinged door fitted with lined diffusing glass, underneath the lantern, gives access to the interior. The alloy used is specially selected
for its resistance to corrosion. Further protection is obtained by the use of a suitable primer, undercoat and matt aluminium finish top coat.

z8433/4: totally enclosed cut-off lantern / blown-glass cut-off lantern / blown cut-off lantern
British Patent: 420499.
Developed in 1939 and cited by the GEC as an important post-war lantern.
The principle of total enclosure has been extended
to lanterns which previously
have not been available in this form, for example, "Cut-Off" lanterns for horizontally
burning electric discharge lamps which have been usually constructed with exposed
reflectors mounted in open metal housings. The glassware is blown as a complete globe,
the upper part of which is silvered to form the reflecting surface. On the lower portion a suitable
diffusing finish is moulded in order to break up striations. A glass of this type has the further
feature that the silvered surfaces are permanently fixed relative to one another. No troubles can
therefore ensue from inaccurate assembly of the reflectors. The lantern is designed on similar
lines to the Difractor namely: it has a main body casting, side entry
mounting, and the casting supports the lower globe with a gasket. A magnetic deflector of
similar type to that of the Horizal is used.
For main road lighting, roundabouts, roads in the vicinity of airfields, dock and waterside lighting. The lantern has a cut-off distribution
which virtually eliminates glare. The peak candle power is about 70 deg. to teh vertical and above this the intensities fall
off very rapidly. These characteristics make the lantern particularly suitable for waterside lighting where for navigational purposes it is
generally necessary for ligth to be shielded. Excellent results are also obtained at roundabouts where a cut-off distribution
assists visibility. It is particularly important that lighting on roads near airports should not be mistaken for any of the airfield lighting and
on such roads it is therefore genreally necessary to use lanterns giving this form of cut-off light distribution. Lanterns should be
mounted at 25 ft. and spaced not more than 95-100 ft. apart, road width up to 50 ft. Side entry. Requires a minimum length of 16 in. horizontal unthreaded 1¼ in. gas barrel. When fully home, two 7/16 in. Allen
type grub screws grip the barrel. Made from a die-cast light alloy body. Totally enclosed lantern. The body carries terminal block, wiring,
magnetic deflector, over reflector, focusing gear, lampholder and lamp steady. An earthing screw is provided. The porcelain G.E.S. lampholder is wired
with heat-resisting wire to a terminal block. Immediately above the lamp is a non-magnetic polished reflector. On the reflector plate is mounted the magnetic deflector
which is in series with the lamp and consumes 1 watt. Three focal positions are provided giving main beam at 60 deg., or 65 deg., or 70 deg.
The glassware is a one-piece blowing, the upper portion being silvered, copper and lead-backed whilst the lower half has a slightly
rimpled surface. The contour of the silvered portion has been very carefully designed to make maximum use of light from the lamp.
Two stainless steel expanding springs act as an addition support for the glassware. The light alloy used is specially selected for its
resistance to corrosion. Further protection is obtained by the use of a suitable primer, undercoat and matt aluminium finish top coat.

z 8481: four eighty lantern
First exhibited at the APLE's 1947 Conference in Southport. Developed from the seven tube prototypes installed
along Brompton Road the previous year. Made from a non-ferrous material having high reflectivity anodised aluminium reflectors.
Access to the lamps is obtained through two hinged doors which have catches holding them when they are in the open position.
The doors hinge upwards. Chokes and capacitors are housed under the top canopy which conceals the supporting tubes. The lamps
are arranged on a two-lamp circuit so that unity power factor is obtined.
25 ft. mounting height; spacing 100-150 ft.; broad roads up to 40 ft. The lantern, Z.8481,
is approximately equivalent to a normal main road lantern with a 400 w. H.P.M.V. lamp
and is used the same way. On account of its good colour rendering, it is most suitable for civic centres,
main shopping areas and promenade lighting at seaside resorts. The lantern has a very low surface
brightness.
It's primarily designed for mounting on a concrete or steel pole. It requires a horizontal
1½ in. gas barrel projecting 5 ft. 7 in. from the column. The last inch must be threaded. The
lantern, which is a sliding fit on the barrel, is held back against the column by a nut which screws
on to the threaded end of the bracket. When the latnern is in position water entry along the barrel is prevented by two packing
glands. Two Allen grub screws finally lock the lantern on to the tube, an additional fixing at the bottom
of the lantern secures it in a vertical position. A triangular plate on the front end of the lantern
is provided, when required, to give anchorage to wind stays.
When used for catenary wire suspension, double spanwire clamps are bolted on to each end castings,
and the two caps are supplied to conceal the sockets for the more normal bracket fixing.
The body consists of two similar light alloy cast ends rigidly connected together by a top member of
sheet steel and a lower member of light alloy. The light alloy sheet roof, which is secured by six nuts,
is removable giving the access required for erection. it also discloses the detachable tray on
which are moutned the chokes, capacitors and starters wired to the lampholders. This tray with its
auxiliaries completely wired can be installed after the lantern has been erected and can be removed
for servicing at any time. An earthing screw is provided. There is a full-length door of a cast light alloy, glazed with clear Perspex acrylic sheet on
each side of the lantern. The doors are hinged at the top and stays are provided to hold them open,
giving access to the lantern interior for cleaing and lamp replacement.
There is a full-length door of a cast light alloy, glazed with clear Perspex acrylic sheet on
each side of the lantern. The doors are hinged at the top and stays are provided to hold them open,
giving access to the lantern interior for cleaing and lamp replacement.
The lamps are carried in specially positioned spring clips so that no focusing is necessary.
On each side of the lantern there are two trough reflectors with specially designed contours.
These are firmly scrwed to shaped formers, one integral with each end casting and one in the centre.
The reflectors are constructed of super purity aluminium, polished, anodised and electrically
brightened and have a very high reflectivity. The reflectors are removable.
The alloy used is specially selected for its resistance to corrosion. Further protection is
obtained by the use of a suitable primer, undercoat and glossy aluminium finish top coat.
It weighs 100 lbs. (45.3 kgs.) (without auxiliaries) or 130 lbs. (59.0 kgs.) (complete with all auxiliaries).
(1947 advert pictures the lantern from the opposite end with simplified endplate. This was probably
done to make it look more modern and sleek to compete with competitors).

z 9420/30: small sodium lantern for side streets
British Patent: 519484.
Introduced in 1946. For Group B roads. Side road lighting; mounting height 13 ft. - 15 ft.; spacing 100 ft. - 120 ft. Greater spacing will produce dark areas between lanterns. Road
width up to 30 ft. This lantern employs either 45 or 60-watt OSIRA sodium lamps. Top entry. The lantern entry is ¾ in. gas. It is supplied with a lock-nut.
The body is a single light alloy die-casting, and carries cemented into windows in the sides
of the lantern, two refractor plates 10-in. by 5-in. long, with sealed internal prisms.
The front of the lantern is glazed with flash opal glass. An earthing screw is provided. The lampholder and lamp steady
are carried on an over reflector, which hinges downwards for easy wiring.
Prismatic glass refractor plates are cemented into the windows at the sides of the lantern. These plates are normally supplied with
plain cover glasses which seal the prisms so that all external glass surfaces are smooth. The refractors can be supplied without cover glasses but
the small saving in cost effected is likely to be more than offset by the extra maintenance required. The front window is fitted with a curved
panel of white flashed opal glass and allows light to fall across the road. Immediately above the lamp is a white enamelled reflector. This is hinged.
When allowed to drop down it gives access to the lampholder wiring. The lampholder and lamp steady are carried on an over reflector which hinges
downward to facilitate wiring. 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 finish top coat.

z: 9425/35: refractor plate lantern / open refractor plate lantern / main road lantern for sodium lamps
British Patents: 507688 and 519484.
Refractor: Z6313
Introduced in 1945. For Group A roads. Has a light die-cast body. The optical system consists of a single piece refractor plate
on each side, each having a clear cover glass sealed to the prismatic side of
the plate, both surfaces being smooth, thereby facilitating cleaning, and clamped
between die-cast aluminium end plates. Arranged for top suspension, tapped 1¼in. gas and is
supplied with a lock-nut.
Main road lighting; mounting height 25 ft.; spacing 120-150 ft.; raod width 30-40 ft. For roads over 40 ft.
in width, this lantern, with its horizontally burning lamp, will give better results than are obtainable from a lantern
with a vertical burning light source. Made from a die-cast light alloy. The body consists of three castings with are two end pieces and a sloped top. Two
longitudinal mild steel rods of rust-proof finish hold the lantern rigidly together. A lamp steady slides
on these rods and can be adjusted to suit the length of lamp in use. An earthing screw is provided.
The lampholder position is fixed. It is wired with heat-resisting wire to a terminal block mounted
on the end of the lantern.
The optical system consists of two Z.6313 G.E.C. prismatic refractor plates. They are supported by small
detachable lugs on end castings, this arrangement allowing the refractor plate to be quickly removed if required.
Each plate has its refracting prisms sealed by a palin cover glass, thus ensuring that all exposed glass
surfaces are smooth. A small saving in cost can be effected by the omission of the cover glasses but this will
usually necessitate more frequently cleaning of the refractor plates. Immediately above the lamp is a white
enamelled inner over-reflector. This can be easily removed when the lantern is to be wired.
The light alloy used is specially
selected for its resistance to corrosion. Further protection is obtained by the use of a suitable primer,
undercoat and matt aluminium finish top coat.

z: 9443: cut-off lantern for large sodium lamps
For Main road lighting, roundabouts, roads in the vicinity of airfields, dock and waterside lighting. This
lantern has a cut-off distribution and no light is emitted above the horizontal. The peak candle power is at about 70° to the
vertical and above this angle the intensities fall off very rapidly, therefore lanterns should be mounted at 25 ft. and spaced
not more than 95-100 ft. apart. Best results are generally obtained by using some form of central suspension, provided that
the road width does not exceed about 45 ft. These characteristics make the lantern suitable for waterside lighting where, for
navigational purposes, it is generally necessary for lights to be shielded. It has also been found that cut-off lighting gives
the best visibility at roundabouts where normally the number of lanterns that can be seen may cause confusion.
It is mounted by two clamps on the lantern roof which secure it to the horizontal bracket arm which must be a minimum length of
14 in. Bracket tubing of ¾ in. - 1½ in. gas, unthreaded, can be used. Has a porcelain B.C. lampholder which is
housed in a separate compartment with a sliding cover underneath; an earthing screw is provided.
The body is of copper with a cable entry elbow on the lampholder compartment. The lamp steady provided is suitable for both
the 85W or 140W lamp. The steady is reversible allowing for either lamp. A stainless steel spring is provided to ensure that the
lamp is held firmly in the steady. The holder is mounted on a sliding platform. This enables the angle of cut-off, and therefore
the angle of peak candle-power, to be varied. The correct positions for these different angles is marked. Two curved glass mirrors are
fixed inside the body, to provide the main light control. There are also flat mirrors on the inside of each of the lantern ends.
All mirrors are copper and lead-backed and secured by clips.
The lantern is finished a matt aluminium stove enamel externally and white enamel internally.
