liverpool
Designed by P. J. Robinson, M.I.E.E. (City Lighting Engineer to Liverpool). First low-pressure sodium vapour lantern designed in the UK and first installed in Liverpool. Also was chosen as the unit to replace the prototype low-pressure sodium vapour installation along Purley Way, Croydon.

Cut-off lantern. Has patterned reflectors designed for use with sodium lamps. It is adapted for side-entry or centre-suspension. The size of the light source makes focusing adjustments unnecessary and also ensures a wide spread of light across the road.

restricted street lighting
Designed to comply with BS/ARP 37. For wartime use. The Wardle Adapter Type and Bracket Type Restricted Street Lighting Fittings comprises an upper and lower steel spinning with a cup-shaped baffle. The fitting in each case is of robust construction and is sufficiently strong to withstand rough handling during erection and lamp changing. The method of assembly ensures maintenance of initial performance and when replacing lamps it is impossible to modify the gap between spinnings. The Adapter Type fitting is suitable for direct connection to the lampholder in existing street lighting fittings. Approximately 13" diameter and 5 3/8" deep.
