<p>[QUOTE="Drew, post: 998587, member: 3235"]They are anchor lights for a ship or for a barge being towed (sometimes labeled "Not Under Command")....the 360 degree lens indicates this. The Fresnel lens refracts and amplifies light as to be seen from a greater distance...much like lenses seen in lighthouses. They look much like lights made in Europe, 1960's - 70's. Nice authentic lights, not the reproductions often seen out there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
