Phosco P152's first time lit Following on from the P152's tedious rebuild and restoration, all that was left was to get it lit, having never lit the lantern in the 5 years of having it. A salvaged swan neck sleeve bracket was the order of the day here, with a Osram BSX3555 ballast brought in to get the lamp lit. To see it strike and run up has made all this hard work worth it, its now ready for another 50 years service which sadly it'll never see.

you were lucky on the new old stock bowl, ive got several of these lanterns as our town had many of these, hundreds in fact back in the 80's most of which lasted till the late 90's early 2000's. some even in use had clear bowls like the new one you have here, the older ones tended to go milky as perspex does with age. this lantern is basically the small side road version of the P157 which was the main road 90 watt sox model having the same style bowl but longer with 2 oddie clips instead of one like the P152 has
