Candela Light Station Lantern Installations

These lanterns are also believed to have been sold as the Tamlite Warwick, but this cannot be confirmed. The Candela version can accommodate a wide-variety of lamp-types including: 50W SON, CDMT, or CDMT-T, 26W CFL, or 60W Cosmopolis. Newer examples also have the option to include a 24W-48W LED array. The lantern's body could be made from aluminium, brass, or copper.

Thank you to AgentHalogen_87 for informing me of this truly amazing installation.

Located on Minster Pool Walk, is this stunningly-rare Lambert Brother's Walsall cast-iron column, with a Revo Tipton swan-neck bracket and a Candela Station Lantern. The column probably supported a gas lantern originally before it was electrified. There may have also been more of them.

Through the bowl, you can see the very rare MBTF 160W (tungsten filament self-ballasted mercury) lamp!

Situated around the grounds of the 14th century All Saints Church are several Candela Station lanterns and a much older iron column. The first Candela Station is pictured below:

All of the lanterns have been cobbed nowadays, which mustn't be a pleasant sight at night with the dome-shaped clear bowl!

The second lantern along:

Notice the hooks which would be used to hang plant baskets, but in this case remain unused.

This one is located next to a much older column which would have supported a gas or candle lantern originally.

The last example in the churchyard:

This example is fitted with a 20W LED corn lamp, and is the lantern that allowed me to correctly identify these.
