Which manufacturer? « on: November 04, 2014, 03:30:23 PM » Author: Aeroform
Hi, I'm new here and I come from Switzerland, the Zurich Oberland.

Since I new to the area "lamps" am still, I have a question: I have photographed this lamp in the village "Wald", and I have found despite search here in the forum is no comparable model. In nature a bit like a Belamg-polyfix, just square instead of round. Does anyone know of this type and manufacturer?

Sorry for my bad english is just translated with google ...

 Thanks and greetings Aeroform

Hi Aeroform,

The pictured lantern is in fact a Polymix 5/15*. This lantern range was introduced firsty by Alumag AG in the 1960's. Most of them you'll find today on our streets are the later types distributed by  Alumag-Belmag AG. Many different sizes were available throughout the years with a great number of combinations of lamp types and wattages but sadly most of them do not exist anymore at our streets. Personally I would be interested for an example with low pressure Sodium lamps. Those were many used around Zurich on mainroads. Maybe I shall ask someone from EKZ?

Cheers Michael

Hey Michael,

thanks for the informations, I was not even so wrong...

So far as I know are the polymix pictured 5/15 * in the jurisdictional area of the "EW Wald", where perhaps ask.my knowledge, these are the last 5/15 *, but it still has some Polymix in and around Zurich/Oberland. Generell it has in this environment much more interesting, following a couple of pictures, all within about 5 minutes:

Hi Aeroform,

Nice to see some streetscenes still lit by these old fixtures. Especialy in Kt. Zurich.

The fixture in the lower picture is a Belmag AG AEROPLAST. Here with only one fluorescent tube equipped. Nice lantern indeed! I have a couple of these in my collection as we had them in use here in solothurn a while ago.

See in my Albums. There you will find more informations about the Aeroplast  8)
