This is a WRTL Vectra street light lantern running 70W SON-E (high pressure sodium). It is gear in head. The gear is located on a large plate, which can be removed with the use of a clip. This example is the smallest version of the WRTL Vectra, it also has a curved-tempered-glass bowl. The original gear was left in place, with new wiring being installed where it was needed. The lantern operates on a Zodion SS6 photocell. Join me for a full warm up of the lantern, along with some interesting facts about the Industria Vectra you may not have known!

It's worth mentioning as well that these can come with: flat glass bowls, curved tempered glass bowls (which is what this one has) and deep polycarbonate bowls.

There’s a few of the deep bowls near me but I’ve never seen a flat bowl one in person.

We have the curved glass bowls in my village

Today I learnt that street lamps can also be a hobby, interesting channel, subbed!

I stared at that thumbnail for a good five seconds before i figured it was a video about a lamp and not a soviet sci-fi film called WRTL VECTRA.

Great video Leo

Love it, there's the same head a mile away from me

Great video. I have a small one and a medium. Both use a clip and hinge for the gear compartment so it might have been an option, never seen it before though so I find it intriguing. All 3 sizes could have the zebra optic I believe as my medium is a Vectra-X running 150W.

I used to see curved and flat bowl lanterns around my area before being replaced with LEDS

What is the difference between SON and SON E Also why is this one milk coated, if it lights orange anyway I thought milk coating is used if u want more white out of ur incondecent light

@LeoLampposts Месяц назад

SON-T is tubular, SON-E is egg shaped or eliptical. I think it's to do with the light output/glare though I'm not 100% sure

@George_M55729 Месяц назад

It's mainly to diffuse the light in sodium or incandescent lamps. As a general rule, (at low level) If you can see the lamp, you should use a coated lamp to diffuse the light, and make the visible source less intense. If you can't see the lamp, you should use a clear lamp, and the shade or refractor bowl of the light fitting will diffuse the light. The coating on fluorescent or mercury vapor lamps serves a different purpose. That phosphor coating absorbs the ultra violet discharge from the mercury in the lamps and emits white light in return. Some incandescent lamps have a thick white coating like the fluorescent phosphors to change the white balance, and give a cooler colour temperature; but the coating on the SON lamp is more like a pearl finish incandescent lamp, and only serves to diffuse the light.

what's the difference between SON-E SON-I SON-T?

@LeoLampposts Месяц назад

SON-E is an elliptical lamp SON-I is a lamp with an internal ignitor meaning that the gear won't need one SON-T is a tubular lamp, theres fundamentally no difference between SON-E and SON-T other than the shape, although some SON-Es can be coated which reduces the lamp glare

@@LeoLampposts does it give the same kolor temp 2250K? was there such thing as self balled high pressure sodium oval coated bulb like self ballasted mercury bulb?

@LeoLampposts Месяц назад

@@mercuryvap I believe the colour temperature remains the same or very similar, and I havent heard of a self-ballasted SON lamp so I'm not 100% sure but lamptech.co.uk has lots of information on sodium lamps
