There's a shop here selling all sorts of things converted to table lamps by sticking a bulb on the top - car jacks, sewing machines, kitchen scales etc. , but so far he hasn't converted a lamp to a lamp!

This is Lancing's 'new' backup head lamp, an old GU Masthead oil lamp. Restored by Davey and Co about 35 years ago. The lamp came from David Blagrove over 40 years ago. The lamp still has its fleet number on the back and actually came from the butty Bawtry.

Should the glass not be red?

[Ray T]

If it is a boat at anchor the light should be an all round white light.

 

Two red lights for "Vessel not under command."

The insert does not appear to be in place.
