'This lantern has been converted to accommodate a 16w magnatech LED lamp, much more robust and with a longer life expectancy than traditional sox lamps'

Oh, it's ok, seems he sells the crappy LED lamps on their own too, just in case anyone wants to bugger up their own lanterns...

Yep you could return the SOX lamp into the Lantern if the Gear is missing or has not been fitted it could be a GEC Z9580, as they have NO gear fitted, or if the Gear has been bypassed and can be reconnected the lantern would be the Z9582,

I would dump the LED Lamp and then refit a 35w SOX or 26w SOX-E lamp either rewire the Lantern with Gear or have it remote by using a GEC Z1616P, Transtar LXH35/55CI or similar 35/55w SOX Ballast. mounted in a Lighting Column or Gear Box.
