Gaash Oron Lantern Installations

The two-toned Gaash Oron lantern was also sold as the "Roadlighter". They ran up to 250W HID lamps such as high-pressure sodium or metal halide. The Oron could feature a flat lens, shallow bowl or deeper bowl - these were made from polycarbonate which often yellowed with age and exposure to the lamp.

A Gaash Oron (Roadlighter) is located around the back of Erdington Abbey. It is a particularly rare fixture here in the UK, and was only ever used on private land.

The lantern is now fitted with an LED cob lamp - implying it is still in regular use. I'd imagine it is owned by the church.

Gaash's iconic rising sun logo is present on the underside of the lantern.
