The extended base and canopy sections of the lantern indicate that it was designed for 55 Watt lamps; the deep base also being a necessity, owing to size of the leak transformer housed within it.

The damage to the bowl can be seen clearly in this view. Originally painted black, the aluminium canopy and base shone in the early-morning late August sun.

A few months after these pictures were taken, I paid a return visit, but this time headed towards the site's security office, with a view to seeking permission to obtain the lantern. After explaining the situation to the guard on duty, I was handed a telephone and spoke to his manager. I repeated my request to him, and he suggested that I leave my details in the security office, and that he would then be in touch the following week after having spoken to someone more superior to him. Unfortunately, the signal was lost at this point, but I nevertheless left my details, along with print-outs of two of the pictures from this page, as suggested. At the time of writing, some weeks later, I am still awaiting any sort of contact, and sadly, I have to say that I cannot be fussed in chasing up my request, owing to the distances involved between home and this location.
