150w Atlas "Birmingham Corporation" lamp
This looks like a standard 1970s GLS at first glance, take a look at the curious etch however. I'm not sure where this would have been intended to be used, my guess is either in public spaces or in streetlighting. Also note the slightly higher than usual 250v rating.

I'd guess stgreetlighting. I'd also suggest this has a slightly longer than usual neck, which I believe was a feature for GLS lamps used in open fittings (such as ESLA lanterns) to ensure the filament was correctly positioned to make use of the optics, or in this case the mirrors in the fitting.
