Portable SNCF Arras France electric lamp. The visitor lantern SNCF was used in SNCF train stations and railway stations, by railway officers on the ground, including on the platform. It has two luminous indications, a white light and a red light, both actionable with a switch with double stand on the top side of the SNCF lamp. Its switch activates either one light bulb or the other. The handle makes it easy to hold the lantern from above or from behind. Unlike the on-board SNCF lantern, the visitor's lantern does not have a UIC hook, a hook allowing the lantern to be attached to at the rear of a train car, for example, to replace signal lights in the event of a breakdown. This SNCF lantern is powered by a 6LR20 battery, shown in the photos, with 9V voltage. For information, this SNCF lantern opens by unscrewing the 3 bolts. A seal fitted between the two parts ensures that the inside of the SNCF lamp is watertight, thus protecting the electrical equipment, particularly in the event of rain. From a decorative perspective, this SNCF lantern will delight enthusiasts of atmospheres linked to transportation, particularly train enthusiasts, and most handymen will be able to transform this lantern into an accent light, for example, to be placed on a pedestal table in the living room next to the sofa, and with a more permanent lighting system running on the 220V mains supply.
