THE Polaris road-safety lamp introduced by Moflash Co. Ltd. is intended as a replacement for the traditional paraffin lamp. But as well as marking road works, the lamp can be of use on vehicle maintenance, particularly in marking a broken-down truck at night and providing safety during repairs. It is powered by two standard 6 V lanterntype batteries and is completely portable. Running costs are said to be +d. per hr.
A tough plastics battery case in combination with a reeded, red acrylic lens clamped between protective aluminium castings gives the Polaris a very strong construction to withstand the roughest treatment. Automatic photo-electric cell operation is available as an extra and with this fitted the lamp is switched on and off at dusk and dawn to enable it to be left completely unattended for almost two months before the batteries need to be replaced.
Made by: Moflash Co. Ltd., British Lion Works, 72-73 Warstone Lane, Birmingham 18.
Price: f. 1 17s. 6d.
