The ELECO GR 535/1 was the 35W version of the GR 501. They weren't used as often as the GR 501, but some areas did have them. This one was an eBay purchase, and will run 35W SOX once I power it up. It lacks a bowl and really any other feature other than the aluminium canopy, lamp-holder and an old choc-block wire connector. Due to this, there isn't really much to say about it, but I am currently saving to order a new bowl for it, and have sourced a two-part photocell to add that finishing ELECO touch! I stuck a 26W SOX-E lamp in it to make it look significantly nicer for the pictures! Thankfully the clip is also present, so one will not need to be sourced.
With the lantern hooked up to a gear-board, the lamp lit up with the familiar SOX glow.
