The firm exhibited a small selection of their Street Lighting Fittings, several types of brackets,
sample street lighting standards and a REVO Traffic Signal at the Blackpool 1932 exhibition.
They exhibited a range of lanterns for sodium vapour and mercury vapour discharge lamps at
the
APLE's 1936 Conference in Cheltenham. The Hoodalite, Magnalite and
Progress lanterns were all shown. - Public Lighting #3, 1936
In 1937, they are exhibiting the C9224 silvered mirror fittings for the 150W SO/H lamp
and the C9018 lantern for 400W MA/V lamps. The C9018 comprises a copper frame with copper
canopy and cast-iron dome, using lenticular and prismatic glass panels. These in conjunction with
stainless steel internal reflectors give directive control of light - APLE Conference Programme 1937
The exhibits in the 1938 conference comprise the latest examples of fittings for use with Sodium and Mercury Vapour
Lamps, particularly the horizontal burning types. The firm notes that rapid developments have taken place in recent
months, and the new fittings use silver mirrored and prismatic and lenticular glass panels which give exceptional
results. - APLE Conference Programme 1938
REVO exhibited and described the C10737 (sodium)
and C10766 (mercury) lanterns during this conference. Both
lanterns also featured in their adverts. - APLE Conference Programme 1939
The firm report that developments were curtailed during the war but new designs were currently
being designed. One interesting exhibit was a lantern using low pressure sodium and gas filled tungsten
lamps, designed to overcome the objections by some lighting engineers to the colour of low pressure sodium.
The combination of lamps was so disposed that the maximum correcting effect was directed
across the roadway where it was of most advantage and detracts least from the remarkable
definition obtained from mono-chromatic Sodium light. - APLE Conference Programme 1945
The firm now has an extensive range of units for use with Sodium and Mercury discharge lamps,
as well as ordinary Tungsten filament lamps. There are three distinct methods of light control which
form the basis of the design of most of the units on show, namely, the cut-off, the semi cut-off and the
non cut-off. Fittings shown were the C 9777, C 10735, C 10766 and C 10392. Also shown
are a prototype unit for street lighting using twin 80W fluorescent lamps and a lantern combining high
efficiency in sodium light distribution with a certain amount of colour correction laterally for shopping centres. - APLE Conference Programme 1946
Installation of REVO Sol-Etern lanterns along Coronation Walk for the 1947 Southport Conference.
Are displaying an installation of the new REVO Sol-etern lanterns which are the first specially produced
for use with only two 80 watt 5-ft. fluorescent lamps. - APLE Conference Programme 1947
