Another new and unobtrusively styled lantern from Thorn, the Oracle S adopts eco-friendly technologies that are particularly well-suited to the sustainable theme of many of today’s minor road and urban street lighting projects.

Its design has been influenced by the existing Oracle range and by a recognition and appreciation of the need to provide low energy discharge lighting with monitoring and dimming capability.

Beneath its compact aluminium exterior, the Oracle S conceals a double IP66 protected optic/gear enclosure, complete with a breathing system to control pressure and a gasket made of ethylene-propylene rubber (EPDM) which has better weatherability properties than silicon. The reflector, when combined with a choice of enclosures (flat or shallow) and lampholder adjustments (15 sets), optimizes light output and control for both E27/E40 and PGZ12 lamps up to 150W. The benefits are a LOR of 81%, an ULOR of 0% and very little maintenance.

Three lighting control options are available, one with basic Nema / Minicell sockets, one with Step-Dim switching ballasts to reduce the lighting and power consumption levels in pre-established steps and one for use with the Telea “intelligent” central monitoring system.

Eco-design credentials are documented in a Product Environmental Profile (PEP), which lets customers check the environmental impact of the product through life. EIME (Environmental Information & Management Explorer) software is used for analysing the life cycle.

The Oracle S is also a flexible lighting tool since it can be post top or side mounted by using the integral rotating spigot. Tool less socket connections and latches are used wherever possible.
