Oxford
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.

Small Wembley Lantern
Introduced in 1945 as part of a 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, with dome refractor and
clear or rimpled globe, bowl refractor or stepped opal diffusing globe.

Watford Lantern
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.

Fulham Di-Fractor Lantern
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. First used in the Fulham, London installation which was inaugurated
in February 1937 and included 460 lanterns. The largest installation using these lanterns was probably
in Deptford in 1937.

Di-fractor / Side Entry Di-Fractor
Introduced in 1938 for the vertical burning of Osira High Pressure Mercury Vapour Lamps. Made from light alloys and totally enclosed.
Side mounted with the bracket gripped by drawbolts. Optical system consists of the well-known prismatic glass bowl refractor. An important
post-war design. It has three main parts: a cast aluminium ring and bracket attachment
which supports the weight (22lbs) of the complete unit; a spun silicon aluminium detachable
top; a plate spring hinged ring secured by a simple catch. The bowl refractor is smooth
externally. Post-war, it is relaunched as the first of an
entirely new range of die-cast aluminium lanterns embodying sound engineering
principles in mechanical construction and high optical efficiency.

Small Oxford Lantern
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.

Uniway
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. Immediate post-war
the 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." 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.

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.

Horizal
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 magnetic deflector.
Optical system consists of glass plates, hermetically sealed together. The plates are so arranged that all prisms face inwards so there
are no surfaces to collect dust or dirt. Has a controlled cut-off distribution (semi-cut-off)
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.

Double Dish Lantern / Dioptrion / Universal Dioptrion
First introduced in 1945 as the "Double Dish Lantern." 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.

Totally Enclosed Cut-Off Lantern / Blown Cut-Off
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. This new form of lantern has
the glassware blown as a complete globe, the upper part silvered, the lower part
moulded with a diffusing finish.

Refractor Plate Lantern / Open Refractor Plate Lantern
Introduced in 1945. 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.
