I have a set of these. Were they used on military aircraft or something? I seem to remember someone saying that.

It think its more likely there were used in machine plant rooms but i could be wrong.

I took some of these in to an old guy at work who was a site engineer for many years working in power stations and he recognised them straight away.

Thats neat. So along factory workers were pushing Vader's buttons. No wonder he was so angry all the time.

Old Lockheed part as I recall. Very hard to find the red one, green ones are a bit easier.

Midnight Trooper,

Is it possible to take photos of the side and underside of the lights?

Also, could you provide measurements of the maximum length, width and thickness? I'll try to figure something out in terms of getting a prototype machined.

I got 2 green ones from lonepiggen of the RPF.

If any one has a red one , I would be able to finish my chest box.

Painting one red is not the same!!

Hi guys, I did sell these. They are quite rare and hard to find. You can usually find the reds from one vendor and the greens from another but rarely both from the same place. If anyone is looking let me know. I may still be able to help track them down.

Dave :)
