Salvaged Nautical Running Light – Vintage Copper Stern Fixture

This nautical running light once served at the stern of a working vessel, guiding ships approaching from behind. Made of solid copper, the body shows an untouched patina that highlights its age and history. The word “HEKLIGHT” is stamped on the housing, confirming its use in maritime navigation.

At 8 inches tall and about 4.5 pounds, this light is compact but sturdy. It includes a clear Fresnel lens that focuses light efficiently. The lens is in good condition. Right now, the light is unwired. However, you can easily run wiring through the base if you’d like to convert it for use.

Thanks to its flat bottom, this nautical running light works well as a tabletop display. You can place it on a shelf, entryway table, or bar counter. It also makes a solid addition to any maritime collection or coastal-themed space. Whether you want a decor piece or plan to wire it up, this light offers real-world ship history with flexibility.

• Solid copper body with original aged patina
• Marked “HEKLIGHT” — authentic stern running light
• 8″ tall, approx. 4.5 lbs
