# Rare Japanese Kokosha Maritime Industrial Flameproof Light – 1993 – Cast Aluminium – Moss Green

An impressive piece of Japanese maritime industrial design, manufactured by **Kokosha, Japan, in 1993** and originally installed in the engine room of a cargo ship.

This substantial industrial light features a robust cast-aluminium body, distinctive glass tube enclosures and original stainless-steel protective grilles. Designed for demanding maritime environments, its construction reflects the functional engineering and distinctive aesthetic of Japanese industrial lighting.

The main aluminium body is finished in **RAL 6005 Moss Green**, a deep, elegant shade reminiscent of British Racing Green. The combination of the rich green finish, exposed stainless steel and glass creates a striking contrast, giving the fixture a distinctive architectural presence.

### Maritime heritage & materials

Reclaimed from the engine room of a cargo ship, this light has an authentic connection to maritime industrial history.

Manufactured in 1993 by the Japanese lighting manufacturer Kokosha, it was originally designed for use in demanding industrial environments where flameproof lighting was required.

The main body is cast aluminium, finished in Moss Green. The protective grilles surrounding the glass tubes are original, unpainted stainless steel. The central stainless-steel rod and the two original stainless-steel locking details, fitted on either side of the fixture to prevent the side caps from unscrewing, also retain their original unpainted metallic finish.

These exposed stainless-steel components preserve the industrial character of the fixture and provide a distinctive visual contrast against the green aluminium body.

### Professional electrical restoration

The light has been professionally rewired using CE-approved electrical components.

It is supplied fitted with four LED filament tube lamps, together with the electrical cable and steel suspension wires.

The warm amber-toned LED filament lamps (1600K) create an atmospheric decorative glow, complementing the deep green finish and industrial character of the fixture.

**Lighting output:** Each LED lamp produces 180 lumens, giving the fixture a combined output of approximately 720 lumens.

Please note that this is primarily decorative and ambient lighting rather than a high-output source intended to illuminate an entire room.

### Interior applications

With its substantial proportions and distinctive maritime industrial character, this light makes an impressive statement piece in both residential and commercial interiors.

Particularly suited to installation above dining tables, kitchen islands, billiard tables, bars and breakfast counters. It would also make a striking addition to industrial-style lofts, restaurants, hospitality spaces and architectural interiors.
