Introduction

EE-84 signal lamp is the sign to transmit morse code (blinker code) by day and night. The whole set weighs about 19 kilos and it has a range about the 4.5 kilometers in the sunlight the range of course longer at nighttime and it can be used by red or white flashes when the red flashes are using the Range is cut in half and for directing the light beam there's a telescopic site on top of the lamp the mount that is here is complete with leveling blub, micrometer scale and compass and tripod can also be used with the M65 telescope. Signal lamps like the ee84 is mainly used by field and coast artillery units, but during World War 2 it seems signal lamps like EE-84, was mostly used by already known as short party also known as beach master units, during amphibious operations the short party is responsible for ship to short communications and they also coordinate all the logistics on the beach.

History

A signal lamp (sometimes called an Aldis lamp or a Morse lamp) is a visual signaling device for optical communication by flashes of a lamp, typically using Morse code. The idea of flashing dots and dashes from a lantern was first put into practice by Captain Philip Howard Colomb, of the Royal Navy, in 1867. Colomb's design used limelight for illumination, and his original code was not the same as Morse code. During World War I, German signalers used optical Morse transmitters called Blinkgerät, with a range of up to 8 km (5 miles) at night, using red filters for undetected communications.
