The GEC Z9454 is a 90w SOX lantern. They have a aluminium canopy, and the bowl is triangular shaped, visible from the front or the back of the lantern. I’ve always called these the toothbrush lamp, as I think they look like a toothbrush, especially when mounted on long, steel outreach brackets!

near brooklands museum, Weybridge 

There are a few GEC Z9454s near brooklands museum. They are on steel columns and probably run on 90 or 66w SOX.

This poor GEC Z9454 has had its bowl smashed off, and even the 90/ 66w SOX lamp is smashed. Fortunately, this is the only one like this, and most of the other ones are in good condition.

Sadly, in March 2025, there is only 2 GEC Z9454s left, and one of them is the one with the smashed bowl.

This GEC Z9454 is definitely in better condition than the other one, as it actually has its bowl! Sadly, there is a hole in the bowl, but that is the only damage to the lantern.

As the column door was loose, I opened it up a bit, and there is a ballast, some dead earwigs and the 2-part photocell relay.
