| Filename: | Kowhai.jpg |
| Album name: | Low Pressure Sodium Lanterns |
| Manufacturer: | EC Gough Ltd, Christchurch |
| Model: | Kowhai (pronounced 'co fye') which is the maori name for a native NZ tree, Goughs named their major road lanterns after trees, minor after native birds. |
| Power Consumption: | 90w |
| Working Voltage: | 240v 50Hz |
| Cap Type: | BY22D |
| Light Colour Temp: | 1800K |

| Comments: | Like with the EC Gough Radiata (also a tree and similar design to REVO Horizon), this appears to also take cues from REVO lights of the same era. The lens is similar to a REVO Hyperion A but has a larger section at the spigot end that encloses the gear. |

Let me guess, one of the minor road lanterns was called a Galah! Just hope they never caught fire....

Nah, no galah's in New Zealand.

Hi Paul, I'm not aware of NZ exporting any lights beyond Australia but I think Colin may be right in that they look like the Thomas & Betts fittings. BEKA lighting is a large street light manufacturer based in South Africa so it could also be one of theirs.

Hmmm... not sure. The bowl is all encasing like the EC Gough, not a separate gear enclosure for the gear. Makes in use were Revo, GEC and Elecos mainly.
