These lights were used by USN personnel on landing crews or in small boats to signal nearby ships. The set is in excellent condition, but is likely not in working order. Included with the light assembly are additional extension cords, remote trigger, straps, switches, and several other spare parts and the original manual which provides instructions for use and a part diagram.
