Brass Double-Stacked Ship Navigation Light with Red Fresnel Lenses

This Brass Double-Stacked Ship Navigation Light features dual red Fresnel lenses inside a solid brass housing. It once served aboard working vessels as part of a ship’s signaling system.

At sea, color matters. Red light marks the port side of a vessel. Because of this system, mariners can determine direction and avoid collisions at night. When you see red, you know you are viewing the ship’s port side.

In addition, the Fresnel lens design strengthens and focuses the light. The stepped glass allows light to travel farther while using less bulk. As a result, ships remained visible even in rough weather. The stacked configuration adds durability and visual strength. It also provides a bold industrial profile. Therefore, this piece works well in nautical interiors or restoration projects.

You can mount it in a coastal entryway, covered patio, marina office, or lake house. It also pairs well with brass portholes and other authentic marine fixtures.

Features:

• Dual red Fresnel lenses for enhanced marine visibility
• Brass construction with authentic vessel patina
• Historically used as a port navigation light signal
• Suitable for display, lighting projects, or marine collections

Wiring

This light has been rewired for modern electrical use. It includes a medium base socket with updated wiring and a ground wire. The wiring exits through the original side conduit, allowing for clean wall installation. The fixture is rated for use with standard LED or LED Edison bulbs, operating at voltages of up to 250 volts.

To access the socket, remove the lens assembly from the brass housing.
