CU Phosco P514 Lantern Installations

The CU Phosco P514 is the smaller version of the P516. They could run 50W-150W SON or metal halide lamps, but are still in production to-this-day in LED form. The design has been adjusted over the decades, and a wide-range of optics were available with the old version.


Beacon Park, Lichfield

The CU Phosco P514 Lantern can be seen on the pathways around Beacon Park, alongside the Metcraft Victoria (old). These run a mix of 100W and 70W SON-T lamps. This one is located down the footpath that leads to Shaw Lane Car Park.

As you can see, this particular example is missing the decorative cover and acorn from the lantern's canopy! The cover is also damaged, likely due to vandalism. I did look around, but could not find the CU Phosco P514's acorn or cover. Presumably, it's been like this for quite a while.
