I have a 12" signaling searchlight that has to be from WWII or Korean War. The lamp is starting to loose some of its illumination and I'm trying to find a replacement part or equivalent.
The only wording on the lamp is PAT'D, RADIANT and the letter S. No numbers.
On the two screws holding the lamp prongs in is this nomenclature: HL P 1310.
The searchlight itself is a Navy model 95101, MFG. type CL-45 built by Curtis Lighting, inc., Chicago.
Am I wasting my time or are there companies that still make arc lamps I could use ?
Thanks for any help
