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.

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.

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.

longitudinal lighting lantern "pendant" 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

dock lighting lantern
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.

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.

wembley
Refractor: G 501, G 507 or G 513
Later sold as the Z 5041/53 York range.
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 is supplied without the
outer enclosing globe, and are therefore more inexpensive models (see F 5451/7 below). Can take
three different refractors: G 501 (symmetric), G 507 (non-axial asymmetric) and G 513 (axial asymmetric).
Made from cast iron. Accessible and rapid rotatable refractor plate
for lining up with the roadway without disturbing the joint between the bracket and lantern, and ensuring positive
location of any of the three types of refractor. Refractor secured by cadmium-plated supports and phosphor-bronze
springs. G.E.C. English-made prismatic glass refractor, giving maximum light output. Porcelain
lampholder. Standard tapping is ¾" gas. Standard finish is green outside, with all reflecting surfaces white

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.

ARP Lantern (Z3200 range)
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.

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 Z3210 range of units for 25W and 15W lamps is constructed of spun steel and incorporates a lighting
device consisting of a flashed opal cylinder with surrounding metal grid to provide the correct light distribution
and intensity. The bottom is detachable for ease of maintenance. Units of this type are supplied for different mounting
heights and all three methods of support are available.

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

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.

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.
Maximum peak candle power intensity at an angle of 65° can be obtained with 71° cut-off.

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.

small wembley lantern
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, with dome refractor and
clear or rimpled globe, bowl refractor or stepped opal diffusing globe.

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.

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.

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.

di-fractor / side-entry di-fractor / difractor
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. 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 which facilities cleaning. It is constructed of light alloys and provided with a novel method of attachment to brackets at the
side of tbe body; the prismatic bowl is secured in a simple way enabling quick access to the interior. The lampholder is carreid on
a sliding bridge piece. The correct focal positions for each wattage are marked on the lampholder carrier.
A white enamelled flat plate acts as an over-reflector for the lamp. 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.
Cited as one of the principle lanterns emboding post-war design ideas: a large casting forms the
main foundation and the main parts of the optical system are mounted directly on it.
It will take 300-500W GLS lamps if modified (by the addition of a symmetric dome refractor supported
in the bowl from a special inner reflector). An important
post-war design it is included in much of the marketing. The first of an entirely new range of die-cast lanterns embodying
sound engineering principles in mechanical construction and high optical efficiency. It is later marketed as part of the
"Clearmain" range.

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.

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.

Uniway / Uni-Directional
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.

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 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.

double dish lantern / dioptrion / universal dioptrion
First introduced in 1945 as the "Double Dish Lantern." 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.

totally enclosed cut-off lantern / blown-glass cut-off lantern
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.

di-fuser lantern
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 diffusing bowl is of high quality
low absorption flashed opal white glass. The special shape of the glass is not only decorative, but has been
designed to give a good distribution of candle-power for the general lighting of such areas as traffic
junctions where a diffused light is required. The possibility of lamp failures due to water-drop or condensation is entirely
eliminated by the patent top connecting box.
