Description
This is the replacement prismatic glass for our Horatio Junior and Merchant bulkhead lights, and it fits the Palaemon, Palaemon North and Small Siren bulkheads as well. It is clear glass in a capsule shape, long and rounded at both ends, with fine ribs running across it from edge to edge and fanning out around the curved ends. Those ribs are what make it prismatic. Ribbed prismatic glass bends the light that passes through it, so the glow spreads wider and the lamp is softened, rather than showing as one hard point of light.
Bulkhead glass takes the knocks. A ladder swung round too quickly, a stray ball or a branch blown loose in a storm can crack or chip the glass, and a damaged glass spoils the look of a light that is otherwise perfectly sound. Replacing the glass alone lets you keep the light you already have, fitted and in place, rather than buying a whole new one for the sake of one broken part. It is also worth replacing a glass that has been scratched or scuffed over the years, so the light looks clean and fresh again.
The maker lists this glass against several product codes under each of those light names, so the name of your bulkhead is the detail to check before you order. If your light is a Horatio Junior, a Merchant, a Palaemon, a Palaemon North or a Small Siren, this is the replacement prismatic glass listed for it, and a clear, unbroken glass puts the ribbed glow back where it belongs.

Frequently Asked
Which lights does this replacement glass fit?
It fits our Horatio Junior, Merchant, Palaemon, Palaemon North and Small Siren bulkhead lights, and the maker lists it for each of those by name.
Will it fit my Small Siren Bulkhead?
Yes. The Small Siren Bulkhead is one of the lights this prismatic glass is listed for, alongside the Horatio Junior, Merchant, Palaemon and Palaemon North.
What does the prismatic ribbing do?
Ribbed prismatic glass bends the light passing through it, spreading the glow and softening the lamp so it does not show as one hard point.
Is the glass clear or frosted?
It is clear glass rather than frosted, with fine ribs running across it from edge to edge that give it a textured, ribbed look.
What shape is the glass?
It is a capsule shape, long and rounded at both ends, with the ribs fanning out around the curved ends to follow the outline of the glass.
Why replace the glass rather than the whole light?
A cracked, chipped or scuffed glass spoils a light that is otherwise sound, and a new glass lets you keep the light you already have fitted.
