This lantern showcases one of Philips' versions of the Arc 80, after it was sold to them by WRTL. There are a few physical differences between both versions which are highlighted on this page. This particular Arc features a curved glass bowl, which is adhered to the reflector to provide a single sealed unit. The lantern was eleven years old at the time of acquisition.
The lantern may have been used as a temporary lantern for a bit, hence the marker pen specifying the lamp-type.
A set of Philips Arc instructions was found within a box from an online order of an unrelated lantern. I decided to keep them and put them with the Philips Arc 80 I had in the collection.
