42. Jeremy's Dad's House. Mounted on the garage is a 26 Watt SOX-E ELECO HW-747, running on a P42 photocell. This lantern would originally have used a 45 - 60 Watt SO/H lamp, followed by 35 Watt SOX. It is in good condition, although the bowl has gone slightly cloudy through age.

A small curved pipe serves as the top-entry wall bracket.

This version sees the lamp control gear, as well as the detector for the P42, installed remotely.

The gear is located just behind the lantern; the wiring being an absolute work of art. 'Sooty' is a cat, by the way - he used to sleep on the previous ballast as it reached a comfortable temperature when on!

This Philips MI 26 is attached to the other end of the garage, and runs an 18 Watt SOX-E lamp. It was after seeing this example that I asked Jeremy whether he would be able to produce such a lantern for me, which he did, subsequently.
