*Many years ago, we acquired a large collection of authentic ship light fixtures. We recently rediscovered the remaining inventory of these lights, which were boxed and stored. They are the last of the old brass ship's lights that we will have in stock.
1970's vintage passageway, bulkhead-mounted light, removed years ago from a retired cargo ship. Cast with solid brass, this bulkhead light features a thick base, a rectangular shape with round male wire entries on both sides, and a triangular-shaped wall plate with three screw holes for mounting. Comes with their original glass dome covers and wire protection cage. These brass fixtures retain a pleasing aged, mellow brass patina.
We've removed all of the old wiring and interior UL-listed socket, added an interior bottom plate, and a new porcelain socket- now ready to be wired and installed. The socket is rated for any voltage under 250 volts. We recommend using a standard base, long-lasting LED bulb. (LED bulbs do not create any significant heat.
IMPORTANT: These old ship lights are of the best quality that you can buy on the market today, but they are used fixtures, and each light will have a different history. Expect age flaws and maritime wear. These lights survive in good, usable condition; the wire cages are dented and have some breaks and repairs. They are still functional, but are far from perfect!
