Signal stat 312 and/or Mars domes

[Sparky_911]

Looking for domes. Just need some help validating my reseach.

Signalstat312...will FS 14/11/100 domes fit? I have one in amber (24v) and looking to go blue and doesnt need to be period correct.

Mars skybolt big dome/us army light...shipped to me but dome damaged during shipment. Anyone know of a dome that will fit? Again doesn't need to be period correct. 6 screws hold it to base.

Signal-Stat 312 is the same as a Dietz 7-40.

Original Signal-Stat lenses might be tricky to get but it is the same size as the Federal 14 lens.

The Dietz 77-234 lens that is the correct lens for the Dietz 7-40 appear on eBay quite often.

The Mars SW2-10 is a special light made for the US Military.

A Stratolite 80 lens where you drill six holes in the flange would possibly work.

A Stratolite 80 cost $75 so it is not cheap.

Grote 7622/7620 domes will also fit for Dietz 7-40 or Signal Stat 312.

1st question, yes, and Dietz is the same dome.
2nd question....good luck, try Tri-Lite/Mars.

Thanks for the info. I'm not that versed on old beacons. I'm leaning towards putting the smaller one on since its 24v, just gotta find a blue dome now.

Those Mars blue lights were $20 on Coleman military surplus about 10 years ago. I wish I had bought all I could then. My lense was damaged at the screw holes. It sits on a shelf in my office.

As does mine. Paid 45 for it but the dome damaged in shipping. Claim covered it and it still works but not weather tight anymore so it's a deco piece now.
