1980's Japanese Brass Industrial Signalling Floor Lamp by Shonan Kosakusho

About the Item

This is a Shonan Kosakusho daylight signalling lamp made in 1980 married with a military gyroscope tripod. Reclaimed from Mid-Century war ships, Shonan did manufacture these during World War 2 until the firestorm on Japan ceased production. The tooling survived and production continued during the late's 1950s until the early 1980s. Typically the Daylight signalling lamp would have been used to signal from ship to shore, the precision optics of the reflector focuses the light output of the 1000w bulb to become narrow beam of intense light. The lamp is made from copper and brass with some great mechanical features such as shutter control using the handle on the back which has a lock to keep the shutters closed when required. The lamp is a 1000w tungsten lamp original to the fixture. Diameter of Search light: 35cm Tripod Base: 75cm Height: 170cm Weight: 60kg Voltage: 220v or 110v lamp and wiring for US Voltage. Floor lamps are professionally re-wired in-house to exceed British Standards using CE approved components. Dimensions and weights are approximate. For all orders to USA, UL listed bulb holders and 100v bulbs will be fitted. All lights are sold ready for use in your home or commercial installation.
