The lantern in the collection is a new and unused example dating from February 2004 and is for use with 70-watt SON-T lamps. Constructed from tough plastic it has an ingress protection rating of IP65 and is considered to be a vandal resistant fitting. The 2600's deep canopy houses the lantern's control-gear, and it can be used as a side-entry mounted lantern, or as a post-top mounted lantern, but a special adaptor is required for post-top mounting. The mobile phone has been placed in the picture to give a sense of scale.

By releasing the two plastic clips, the bowl hinges down on its side-mounted hinges to reveal the 70w SON-T lamp, aluminium reflectors and the underside of the gear-tray. The 2600 is one of the few modern SON lanterns that still uses a prismatic bowl to control light distribution.

Releasing the two large Philips screws at either end of the gear-tray allows the gear-tray to be hinged down to gain access to the control-gear mounted on the back of it. Note the neat layout of the control-gear and wiring.
