About the Item

This is a Shonan Kosakusho daylight signalling lamp made in 1981, married with a Russian 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 lamp focus mechanism and shutter controlled by the handle on the back, the lamp also has pan and tilt levers for locking the fixture into position. The lamp is a 1000w tungsten lamp original to the fixture, this is controlled by our own panel designed and built at Loomlight. The controller is made up from a mixture of old and new materials. The main switch is a brass isolator reclaimed from an old Eastern European factory made in the 1970s, the handle for dimming is taken from another Japanese search light. The voltage meter reads the dimmed voltage so as you turn the handle and the readout follows. All the components are fitted into a copper clad galvanised box. Dimensions. Width - Search light = 35cm & Tripod Base = 75cm Height - 170cm Weight - 60kg Voltage - 220v or 110v lamp and wiring for US Voltage. All lights are professionally re-wired by 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.
