Mon Australe 83. My first French streetlight.

Lux'Or · 2009-07-09 12:50:53

Oh good ! Nice lantern and very clean !

Stradaluce · 2009-07-10 05:33:45

Very nice, this size of Australe is surely the best of this range. thanks to Phozagora, I have an Eclatec LCO (like Iridium), which is certainly the ancestor of Australe. If you go to Marseille, you'll see a lot of Australe!!!

Mon Solair 125 (an Ebay win). Only problem i get it with bowl (vasque) due but the bowl is of a Solair 250/251 so it do not fit. So i made it "sans vasque".

Ring of the old bowl and the bowl of the Solair 250

The part to keep the bowl in position but i have removed them (Keep them when i find a bowl for the Solair 125 may be)

Lux'Or · 2010-01-07 20:28:14

Oh so cool ! It is a very basic lantern. I have the 251 version. Do you know from when your Solair comes ?

santaarnpaal-1 · 2010-01-08 04:11:40

Not really. But inside the lantern was written with a marker 10 80, so may be Octobre 1980?

Lux'Or · 2010-01-08 16:00:51

I think. These lanterns was very popular during '80.

Iridium · 2010-01-08 19:22:57

Look the condensator for see maybe a date code.

santaarnpaal-1 · 2010-01-08 22:16:57

There is no date code on the condensator. (It must also being replaced)

santaarnpaal-1 · 2010-01-17 17:37:49

My Solair 125 working. Due to a dead capacitor i have changed the MV ballast in to a all in one HPS ballast.

Dead (almost cremated) capacitor.

An in streetlights interested cat looking at my Solair 125 working with a HPS ballast and 70 watt HPS lamp.

Working with its orginal Mazda ballast.

Can you take a picture of the original MV ballast please ?

This capacitor can it catch fire and burn the lantern?

santaarnpaal-1 · 2010-01-17 19:27:44

The capacitor was on fire in the lantern i think. There was a big black spot on the ballast and brownish spots on the reflector.

Mazda ballast.

Mon Mazda EPA 125

Lux'Or · 2010-07-09 20:43:14

Oh nice ! And it is good because it's the old version.

Iridium · 2010-07-09 22:25:02

Exactly ! Congrats

Lux'Or · 2010-07-11 13:40:15

Can you send us some pictures showing the inside (ballast)?

This lantern was created and produced at the beginning by Projelux a firm near Lyon bought out by Mazda.

santaarnpaal-1 · 2010-07-11 16:32:11

In fact it is a Mazda EP 125. There is no ballast.
