Perko Chrome Surface Mount Dome Light, 6-Inch

The Perko Surface Mount Dome Light is a 6 inch fitting with a bronze base and polished chrome plated brass body, taking a 17W bulb on 12, 24 or 32 volts.

A bronze base with a brass body is old-fashioned construction and considerably more durable than the plastic and zinc alloy fittings that replaced it. Brass and bronze do not suffer the galvanic problems that arise when dissimilar metals meet in salt air, and both take a polish rather than pitting.

Seventeen watts is a filament-era rating, which gives a warmer and softer light than an LED at the cost of considerably more current. It suits 12, 24 or 32 volt systems, and at 6 inches across the base it is a substantial fitting rather than a courtesy light. Explore more interior and courtesy lights.
