ESLA Group 'AL' 165 degree Bi-Multi 2-Way lantern. Probably the most common of all the ESLA Bi-Multi range of 2-way directional-lanterns is the 165 degree variant, for use with 40w-200w tungsten lamps. This lantern was designed for normal road side use where there weren't any junctions or the need for more specialised lighting arrangements. This lantern came complete with its ESLA '1504' Telegraph pole mounting bracket and was bought from its previous owner in Kent. Unfortunately, the lantern is missing its brass lampholder and stem, but replacements can be sourced; more difficult to replace is the missing fusebox from the base of the arched bracket.
