Philips XGC001 Lantern Installations

The Philips XGC001 was a wall-mounted, 18W SOX-E luminaire. They were quite common once upon a time, but today are a dying breed. They were incredibly compact; the lamp was centred in a downward-facing position inside, and crammed into the extra space to either side was a gear for the SOX-E lamp.


Tamworth

Lots of old lights exist around Mariner, Tamworth. One of these is the Philips XGC001. This example still has a clear enough bowl to see the lamp inside, but some yellowing is present.
