On offer is a sealed beam headlamp, identical to the popular Lucas SB5712 sealed beam unit, used as the inner main beam unit on twin headlight cars. It is specified as a 12 volt 50W 5 3/4" unit with a vintage domed glass front with a 2 pin electrical connector. It is visually the same as the popular Lucas model but manufactured by Thorn.

So what are the advantages sealed beam units?
- Reflector will not rust.... no more MOT failures due to low light output or poor beam spread.
- Glass doesn't get dirty or mist up on the inside.... where you can't clean it.
- Earth connection is on a spade connector.... doesn't depend on a lamp making good contact with the reflector body.
- Rubber sealing boot not required.... no hidden gremlins with the electrical connections.
