Description: The No1 Electric Torch was developed mid war with flexible utility in mind. It ran off the contemporary EverReady 800 4.5V commercial battery that was standard from 1920 to 1970 - now long obsolete. It also had a handle which also retained the lid and a belt clip on the back to allow hands free use. The Lucas switch on the top could toggle on and also be used like a morse key for signaling. The lens holder featured a blinkered cats eye lens with a concealed color lens (red) in addition to the blitz cover - this allowed a variety of low light night configurations. The EverReady battery adaptors are a nice period recreation - taking 2 x C cells to achieve 3V - enough to light an original bulb (not included). The 6V adaptor is 3D printed and takes 4x AAA cells to achieve 6V The latest LED bulbs for flashlight replacement are muti-voltage and universal polarity - ours works with the 6V battery adaptor. Laboratory glass lenses can replace the cats-eye assembly, with an o-ring at its front for the bezel to provide a slight squeeze and seal - ready to take on the powerful modern flashlights - but in a retro package. NOS No1 lamps come surplus from stores in an original box and have light dust and shelf wear - easy to bring back to life. Used No1 lamps are complete and functional - may take a little working to bring to life. Now salvaging surplus lamps to provide you with individual spare parts - mostly SCC15 green with patina - some rare SCC2 brown (ask if interested). Used No1 lamps can be provided complete and tested with the 6V adaptor and LED bulb. Please feel free to ask any questions and check out our other British Field Gear.
