Thorn Beta 79

An early version of the Beta 79 with white painted aluminium canopy. This seemed to be an early alternative to the unpainted factory finish aluminium. Why the variant was offered is currently unknown.

The lantern runs a 70w SON lamp, and was controlled on location by a Venner timeclock. Dating from 1983 the Beta 79 was an early SON lantern to hit the side streets of Plymouth.
