Phosware P143 and P145 Lanterns are totally enclosed side entry type for use with 2 or 3-80W 5 ft.

The lantern is of remarkably good quality, very robust and designed on extremely good lines to match the graceful
shape of the Highway X Column.
The Hood which is 70 in. long x 15 in. wide is cast of aluminium-alloy in one piece and therefore forms a very strong support.
It is arranged for side entry mounting by means of 19 in. of 1½in. BSP plain tube.
To the Hood is hinged a heavy guage Perspex bowl of elegant shape which is opalised at each end, the remainder being clear.
THe hinged bowl is fitted on one side with three quick release Oddie catches.
The optical system consists of two high purity anodised aluminium reflectors of special design to control the maximum flux
from the two side lamps and a small reflector at the base for the lower lamp.
The reflector system is mounted on shaped castings which are tied by means of rods and hinged to the hood forming a complete
unit with the lamps.
The control gear which is a special instant start type is fitted on a separate tray screwed to the underside of the
hood so that the whole of the wiring including the lamp holders can be detached from the hood if required.
Standard Finish: Exterior, Hammered Metallic Beige; Interior, white enamelled.
