Urbis Evolo 3 Lantern Installations

These lanterns were extremely common throughout the UK, and can still be seen in abundance to-this-day. The Evolo 3 was the largest lantern in the Evolo series. They were side-entry or post-top, and could run SON, or metal halide (most commonly cosmowhite) lamps. Overall, the Evolo 3 was quite a sturdy lantern with a range of optical options, held closed by a dependable clip towards the front of the lantern.

It looks like this Evolo 3 runs a SON lamp, probably 250W.
