Killed by flashlight?!?

[cwink5]

Since you're here you know what this thing is?

 

[IMA SOL MAN]

Ummm, propane powered signal light of some kind?

 

[letschat7]

Railroad or Mine light? If felony to steal perhaps for value or creates an unsafe condition?

 

[bykfixer]

Traffic light or marker light.
Either marine or roadway as a caution light. Maybe a runway. My guess is it's for really cold environment where batteries aren't reliable.

Is it directed in 2 directions? Possibly for a railway or road, so that it can be seen from afar that someone is working on the track

About what I found

In case of 3 aspect signal (3 colours Red - Orange - Green) Orange light indicates - Caution

This signal allows a train to proceed past the signal with caution (at reduced speed), being prepared to stop at the next signal. It can mean that the next signal is at Danger, or that the track ahead has speed restriction

The lights displayed by a signal have three properties: aspect, name, and indication. The aspect describes what is displayed, e.g., red over green. The name is the formal name classification for that signal, e.g., diverging clear. The indication is the instruction conveyed by the signal.

A train crew seeing a signal with a yellow aspect will understand they are nearing an approach signal, which conveys an indication that might mean "proceed prepared to stop before your train passes the next signal; trains exceeding 35 mph must immediately reduce to that speed." (There's more to it than simply "the next signal is red.")

@cwink5,, where did you buy, or liberated the warning signal light from?

Please don't say eBay 🤣

I thought this thread was gonna be about something I own.

Given the bi-directional shrouded lenses, guessing this was not intended for aviation or marine use. Probably a railroad marker light. With the 20lb propane tank, guessing the output would have been comparable to a normal electric signal with probably a 6 day run time and the added bonus of getting the marker light a bit higher up.

I thought this thread was gonna be about something I'm getting ready to buy. (Not even joking.)

Attach a lanyard to that D-ring and swing it around like nunchucks?

A local shop paid $30 just out of curiosity of what it was

What is that on top inside, a yellow jacket nest?

 

[KITROBASKIN]

Looks like a candidate for the CPF thread "Show your nightstand flashlight!"

 

[Jean-Luc Descarte]

Oh god, are CPFers going to resort to clickbait titles now?
