Tek-Lite Inc. beacon

[894]

Anyone have one of these? I recently had an extremely large beacon acquisition (approx. 175 pcs.) and this was in the pile. From my research, they're still in business and they look to utilize a Unity RV-25 dome (which this one needs). The all-plastic (yes, PLASTIC) sealed beams are full of water but they still work, as there appears to be an #1156 bulb inside the plastic housing, and the base, gearbox, bulb holders, dome retaining clips...EVERYTHING is made of plastic. It still works! What a piece of (crap) history! The firm appears to cater to the military industry but I don't see how this would hold-up to the rigors of military use! Nonetheless... he it is!

It looks like they don't even have a website. But they do have an anemic Facebook page. They describe themselves as "a military lighting company."
