Sea-Dog Small Brass Berth Light with Bayonet Bulb

The Sea-Dog Small Brass Berth Light is machined and stamped from solid brass with a lacquer coating, prewired with an integral switch.

The white enamel interior of the shade reflects light back out rather than absorbing it. That is what gets usable brightness from a small bulb, and it is the difference between a traditional fixture that works and one that merely looks right.

Solid brass with a lacquer coating suits a traditional cabin where a modern plastic fixture would look out of place. The lacquer is what keeps it from tarnishing, and it is worth knowing that polishing through the coating starts the tarnishing it was preventing.

It is prewired with an integral on/off switch, so no separate switch position or wiring run is needed. A bayonet bulb means the lamp is replaceable rather than the fixture being disposable when it fails. Explore more interior and courtesy lights.
