Vintage Design
Reclaimed from mid-century war ships, Shonan Kosakusho manufactured these search lights during World War 2 until the firestorm on Japan ceased production. The tooling survived and production continued during the late 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 a 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. We have fitted a marine grade rotary switch to turn the lamp on & off.
Supplied fitted with a 1000w tungsten light bulb and sent with a spare.
