Thorn Beta 79
An early Beta 79 with the unpainted aluminium finish canopy. This example dates from 1983 and was designed to run a 70w SON lamp. The canopy of this lantern has never been drilled for a photocell as in service it was controlled by a Horstmann KMK2A timeclock.
Unfortunately the polycarbonate bowl has yellowed over the years, but is not cracked or damaged.
