| MY INDUSTRIA AURORA... |
| My latest lantern from a fellow
enthusiast on EBay is another 70w SON-T. It is an Industria model
Aurora (265022)
made in Holland and it is now on the wall bracket. A few pics are
below. I am using the Royce Thompson Oasis 1000 photocell yet again
as the Zodion Super 6 cell that came with the lantern did not seem
to be switching as desired. I already have a video of the Urbis ZX1
SON-T warming up so I will not do a video of this one.

| MY AC FORD... |
| A I acquired an old AC Ford
lantern from EBay. It is mounted on
the same wall bracket as the ZX1 was. Below are some photos. It
is quite a bulky lantern but built to last. The bowl is discoloured
through age but the light output is still good - and I have always
liked the white/blue glow of mercury. 80w High Pressure Mercury - I took the Royce Thompson Oasis 1000 photocell off the ZX1 and put it on this one.

| MY URBIS ZX1... |
| I acquired an Urbis ZX1 (old
style) from a fellow lighting enthusiast, Wayne. It
is quite a large lantern. 70w SON-T with a Royce Thompson Oasis 1000 photocell.

| MY THORN BETA 2... |
| A few pics of the lantern sitting on the box it came in after I wired it up - turned off and in
various stages of warm up. I am not sure I will mount this one on the wall just
yet as it is quite large - it may just sit around for a while. Maybe
it will light up the rear patio area for security reasons. 55w SOX with a Zodion SS5 photocell.

| MY THORN BETA 5... |
| The first three pics show the lantern sitting temporarily on a shelf after I wired it up - in
various stages of warm up. Being in a temporary place I have had to put a small
cardboard shield on the photocell to stop light radiation switching the lamp off
and on all the time. The next 3 pics show the lantern off and on, mounted on the
wall - again with a cardboard shield on the photocell to stop
erratic switching - after all, you don't get white ceilings above
lamps in the street normally :o) 35w SOX with a Zodion SS5 photocell.
VIDEO: My Beta 5 warming up over 10 minutes - video compressed into a 58 second WMV file (1.1Mb) Maybe my collection will grow over time :o) |
