Genuine Salvaged Brass Port and Starboard Navigation Lights

This matching pair of brass port starboard lights comes from old cargo ships that sailed from the 1950s to the 1980s. Made from solid marine-grade brass with heavy glass lenses, they’re designed for safe ship navigation – red lens for port (left) and green for starboard (right), strong and reliable just like the originals.

At 1.8 kg for the pair, they have that proper solid feel you expect from real ship fittings – premium quality that’s far better than lightweight modern copies. Carefully restored in Europe, they keep the original vintage charm but are ready for today’s use as decorative or functional lights.
