I have these two lights that are available, not quite sure what they are, someone wanted them then found others, very good deal for the right person do they suit your needs?

I would assume that the braded steel cable ones came in near the end of the war.
The standard vehicle pattern without the window and convoy light pattern just has wires pushed into the back. Clearly in this use the cables would not last long.

Surely the braided covering is for the artillery light. The lamp also has the window to illuminate the white part of the main bracket.
The vehicle light didn't need the window as there was a separate axle floodlight and the lamp was wired to the vehicle harness.

Indeed not disputing that.
Be interesting to know what they used pre 43 when this simplified pattern of light must have been introduced.

They list the cable as being about 3 meters long which might be a little short for the 25 pounder. I would estimate the cable would have to be at least 16 feet or longer to work. The 25pr manual sitting here at my desk lists the electrical cable as being 42ft 6 in so perhaps more of a universal cable for use with some of the larger artillery. The part number given by Blanchard's of CM500SA matches the 25pdr manual though.
End of the day, it is one more piece to the 25 pounder collection. Last edited by rob love; 23-11-17 at 19:30.
