Genuine Salvaged Aluminium Red Navigation Light

This aluminium red navigation light comes from old Russian cargo ships that sailed in the 1970s and 1980s. Made from solid marine-grade aluminium with a thick red glass lens, it’s designed for tough ship conditions – strong and reliable for safe port side signalling.

At 1.1 kg, it’s light enough to mount easily but has that proper solid feel from real ship equipment – premium quality that’s far better than lightweight modern copies. Carefully restored in Europe, it keeps the original vintage patina but is ready for today’s use as a stylish wall light.
