Salvaged Koito Explosion-Proof Marine Light – Polished Aluminium with Glass Dome and Cage
Super rare and one of the most aesthetically beautiful lights .We occasionally get these and its probably our favourite .
A beautiful salvaged Japanese marine light by Koito Industries Ltd, dated 1972. Fitted with an explosion-proof plate, it was reclaimed from a ship. The top is polished alloy with chunky clamp fittings and a tall, ribbed glass dome protected by a steel wire cage. It sits on a heavy steel base with cable gland entries and fixing lugs, so it can be mounted to a wall, post or surface or even works as a lamp.
