This
traditional Westminster hexagonal lantern is hand crafted in Copper and retains
the Victorian Heritage styling of the original.This style of lantern has been
in production since the 1880 ’s when these luminaires were some of the largest
ever used in street lighting.The Westminster achieves an IP54 standard of ingress
protection.The lanterns have balanced flues and,with their gas burners and electronic
control meet present day lighting standards across a wide range of applications
and burner combinations.The design of the lantern provides a stylish lantern,which
has a distinctive shape and scale.
The
small,medium and large Westminster,have individual glazing panels in glass as
standard,with optional polycarbonate.They are secured to the lantern ribs with
foam gaskets and glazing tags,giving the fitting an ingress protection rating
of IP54.The hinged door provides easy access for burner maintenance and cleaning
cycles.The specula reflector and internal chimney ensures a balanced flue,reducing
the effects of strong winds on the burners performance.The lanterns are open
frog mounted,as standard,these being galvanised and powder coated.The Sugg lantern
differs from its competitors as the side ribs are reinforced with stainless
steel rods thus spreading the weight and wind loading across the structure of
the luminaire which offers enhanced durability in service.
The
permanent pilot and solenoid are mounted in the main body of the lantern.If
mains power is not present the optional battery powered Sugg Opto Clock offers
timed control from a remote box fitted in the column base.Also available,a photocell
operation from a remote location.Both control options are available within the
Westminster range for both burner types.
