"FRANCIS" Mk V LANTERN, c/w: PLUG, BULB & BOX

The FRANCIS FSP 127 (MKV) signalling lantern fulfils the requirements of the SOLAS (1997) Regulations, which states that “all ships of over 150 tons gross tonnage, when engaged on International voyages, shall have onboard an efficient daylight signaling lamp which shall not be solely dependant upon the ship’s main source of electrical power.”

The 127mm (5”) handheld signaling light can be used on all vessels, for ship to ship signaling using Morse Code.

The light is of aluminum, lightweight construction and is fully waterproofed. If desired this unit can be used as a spotlight if the signalling trigger and lamp switch are both left on.
