Phosco FL300 Lantern Installations

Phosco's FL300 (FL standing for Flood Light) was designed for high-mast lighting between 8m-30m. They could run 100W-600W SON, 100W-250W CDO-TT, 250W-400W MBI-T or 90W-140W Cosmopolis lamps. With such high-powered lamps, the floods have to be fitted with a special heat-resistant glass cover. The bodies of the floods were made from aluminium.

A rail maintenance depot off the B4132, with high-mast lighting running 400W SON-T.

A lone flood faces away from the depot, with four on the opposite side. On the right-hand side is a P220/4 which has long been abandoned.
