    The colour of the light was bright but because of the size of the lens was a lot smaller than the glass it obviously wasn’t as bright as a normal AL11 but yes a very intense little bright light

    I guess it is the same lamp, Tilley AL12, as discussed here on the forum earlier?

    Thanks Gary, and I can’t thank Mike enough for giving me the opportunity to look after it until the next lucky caretaker gets to enjoy it

    Thanks Jeff, I didn’t think I would ever see 1 never mind having one in my possession I know it’s only an AL11 with a different front, but a lot of Tilley lamps had some changes and called or numbered something different, so happy to add it to my shelf now it’s been serviced with a light clean and of course had it lit up for my photo reference
