The Z5676 is the longer version of the Z5670 for 55W SOX lamps. Oddly, this one runs 80W MBF/U which would fit perfectly well in the smaller lantern. A large area beneath the lamp-holder remains unused due to this, which means I may be able to fit an 80W gear inside on a plate.
The bowl is in impeccable condition for an MBF/U lamp! The bowl is made from diakon acrylic.
There is some corrosion in the centre of the canopy, but apart from that it remains undrilled and complete.
To open the lantern, a small clip is located under the rim of the canopy.
A dome refractor would be attached beneath the canopy here, but this example did not come with one.
The 80W MBF/U lamp is located inside, in a vertical position.
Street side logos are present on the refractor support and canopy.
