For sale is the second 300mm tower beacon conversion that I’ve created. It’s a Hughey & Phillips KG-114, probably the standard of the industry for a long time, nowadays becoming obsolete, being replaced with much lighter, smaller and more energy-efficient strobe or LED types. These beacons normally require two special 620-watt incandescent bulbs that each have a 1/4-turn. Locking, “prefocus” mogul base. I’ve fabricated two adaptors that will allow the owner to install any kind of medium-base screw-in bulb instead. The unit comes with two large vintage-look LED bulbs with the appearance of having large helical filaments, approximating the look of the original bulbs while using only 1% of the power. In line with the heavy-duty grounded 9-ft power cord is a high-power dimmer capable of. I’m not including the original style of bulb as few buyers would be interested in those power hogs, but I include information on where to order a pair for real cheap if you’re interested. I installed 1″ thick rubber “shoes under the four feet, shaped to the feet contours. Being that the beacon glass is for industrial and not decorative use, it has the typical factory imperfections such as surface ripples and wrinkles, prominent mold lines and such. It’s almost always inevitable that these beacons suffer some degree of damage from being put into service and removed again, and this one is typical. There are a number of chipped edges, although I’ve been able to fill in the worst ones with windshield repair resin to make them less noticeable. The unit has been thoroughly cleaned inside and out and all the metal surfaces have been wire brushed with a fine bristle Dremel attachment. The photos of the beacon illuminated show the brightest part as fading to white. This is a camera anomaly only, the true color you see will always be a pure red.
