Navigation lamp - Metal

Quella mostrato in foto è una lampada portatile navale, molto probabilmente risalente alla metà del XX secolo, usata comunemente su navi militari o mercantili. È costruita in metallo robusto, con una cupola rossa per la segnalazione e una lente frontale per l’illuminazione direzionale. Nata in un'epoca in cui la tecnologia era ancora dominata da soluzioni meccaniche ed elettriche essenziali, questa lampada ha solcato mari agitati e porti silenziosi come parte integrante dell'equipaggiamento di bordo. Era comunemente usata per: Segnalazioni visive tra navi o verso terra, soprattutto prima dell’avvento diffuso delle comunicazioni radio. Lavori notturni sul ponte, come ispezioni, manovre d’attracco o manutenzione urgente. Situazioni d’emergenza, grazie al suo vetro rosso che permetteva di lanciare segnali di pericolo visibili anche a grande distanza. Costruita in metallo resistente alla ruggine e verniciata di verde militare, questa lampada era pensata per durare, affrontando la salsedine, gli urti e le intemperie. Il manico in ferro permetteva di appenderla o portarla facilmente, mentre la struttura compatta e pesante garantiva stabilità. Oggi alcuni appassionati di oggetti storici navali le collezionano o le restaurano, riconoscendone il valore storico. Senza batteria. Le foto sono parte integrante della descrizione. Si garantisce una spedizione con imballaggio idoneo in tempi rapidi e tracciamento.

Navigation lamp - Metal

The one shown in the photo is a portable naval lamp, most likely dating back to the mid-20th century, commonly used on military or merchant ships. It is made of sturdy metal, with a red dome for signaling and a front lens for directional lighting.
Born in an era when technology was still dominated by essential mechanical and electrical solutions, this lamp has sailed stormy seas and silent ports as an integral part of onboard equipment. It was commonly used for:
Visual signals between ships or towards land, especially before the widespread advent of radio communications.
Night work on the bridge, such as inspections, mooring maneuvers, or urgent maintenance.
Emergency situations, thanks to its red glass that allowed signals of danger to be launched, visible even from a great distance.
Made of rust-resistant metal and painted in military green, this lamp was designed to last, resisting salt spray, impacts, and weather conditions. The iron handle allowed it to be hung or carried easily, while the compact and heavy structure ensured stability.
Today, some enthusiasts of historical nautical objects collect or restore them, recognizing their historical value. Battery not included.
