REVO Horizon Lantern Installations

The REVO Horizon was essentially the larger version of the Diadem. They were made for 250W-400W MBF/U, MA/V or MB/U lamps. This page is for the remote-geared version, but there was a Horizon Major, which was larger so it could accommodate an integral-gear. These lanterns were side-entry only.

Burntwood

Plant lane in Burntwood has several long-abandoned REVO Phidias concrete columns supporting a couple of REVO Horizons. The rest of the columns have no lanterns. Column F1 was photographed first. This was also the first to be seen with no lantern.

A capacitor is visible in the column's base, but no ballast is. The mains cable was found entering the base but I confirmed it not to be live.

The uninhabited bracket has started to succumb to the elements.

Column F2 is the next column down the road. This one has a Horizon lantern, but it's missing it's bowl. Despite this, the lamp appears intact.

This column (unlike the previous example) also has it's original REVO door. It has sustained some damage resulting in the necessity of a metal-tie to keep the door closed.

The third column (F3) is another example with no lantern.

The bracket on this one is in appalling condition at the base. Nothing but the steel pipe remains to hold the weight of all that concrete!

Another column (F4) was without a lantern or door. 

Inside the column's base are the rusted remains of a mercury vapour ballast.

Until now, we've only seen badly damaged examples of the columns and a damaged example of a lantern, and while it's not perfect, F5 is the most-intact installation on this road.

From this angle, the lantern looks-to-be in good shape.

...There is, however, a portion of the bowl missing.

The door is also secured with electrical tape.
