Phosco P220/4 Lantern Installations

The Phosco P220/4 was originally designed for high-mast lighting, not ordinary street lighting, but it was later used as-such. 250W SON or 400W SON could be used in this fixture, with adjustable reflectors to distribute light accordingly with it's use. The lamp and reflectors can both be moved to achieve this effect.

As you can see, they are all in poor condition, with the bowls have been burned severely, and several dents have arisen in the canopies of the lanterns. Consequently, Urbis ZX3s, WRTL Airtrace 2s, Philips Lumas and Philips SGS203s have replaced most of them.
