Urbis Altra 3 Lantern Installations
The Urbis Altra 3 is the 55W PL-L version of the Urbis Altra 2, featuring a longer lamp-compartment to accommodate the longer lamp. The canopy is aluminium in construction, with a polycarbonate bowl. The metal clips snap shut to provide a sturdy bowl support. The Altra 3 was commonly used as a replacement street lantern around the Staffordshire area.
