Thorn Areaflood 40 Lantern Installations

This page showcases one of the newer Areaflood designs, the Areaflood 40. Much like their older counterparts, these fixtures could accommodate post-top mounting or a flood light bracket for direct-attachment. They were the larger version of the Areaflood 7. Lamp-types that these flood lights could run included: 250W-400W SON-T/SON-E, 250W-400W HPS-T (HO), 250W-400W HIE coated GE Kolorarc, or 250W MBF.

Derby

A Royal Mail depot off Noble Street utilizes these floodlights, as well as the older Area Flood.

The GRP on these fixtures has taken the brunt of the elements over the decades, with a significant number of fibres being shed.

An elliptical lamp is still installed in this example.

Many of these now use LED cob lamps, such as this pair on the side of the depot facing Hulland Street.
