Schréder Teceo 2 Lantern Installations

Comprised of an aluminium body, and a power-consumption between 7W-320W, The Schréder Teceo series is quite an advanced set of lanterns. They release no upwards light what-so-ever, making them ideal for areas where light pollution is an issue. Depending on the type of Teceo, they can be mounted between 4m-15m.

Some brand-new Teceo 2 lanterns are located around Royal Mail Street. They are situated on Schréder Elaya brackets. These brackets were specifically designed for this lantern, so this is not an unusual sight.

The bracket glows a dim red, I suspect this could be some-sort of troubleshooting choice, or possibly just an aesthetic choice, maybe even both!

The lantern's side-profile is of similar shape to the bracket, making it evident these were made to be used with one another.

The double Elaya bracket is also used here:

Following the street up a bit provided quite an amazing sight; three generations of twin-arms in one image! The other lanterns are Phosco P220/4s and Urbis ZX3s.

These damaged examples were spotted in late-2024, after an RTC.

Both lanterns snapped at the spigot, and fell to the ground. This left both spigots still up there. I had a bried look around the column but the lanterns were long gone.

More Teceo 2s can be sighted along Paradise Street, having been installed recently when the road was renovated.
