Old Soviet night light, which looks like a street lamp, in working condition. Designed for use with voltages up to 220V. At a lower voltage, such as 120V, the brightness will be lower. But the brightness also depends on the type of lamp installed. According to the factory label, its name is “Riga Lantern”. Made in 1984 in Latvia, which at that time was part of the Soviet Union. The inscription "Riga" near the buttons is the capital of this republic. The lamp has an unusual control using two buttons. The right button is designed to turn it on, the left button switches the lamp power (see video). There is a lamp installed inside, apparently of the same type as in refrigerators. To replace it in the future, you will need to bend the upper ends of the six vertical strips on which this cover rests. In the future, after installing the lamp, it is advisable to make opening this cover easier. One option is to glue two small magnets to the inside of the lid, and glue two small pieces of magnetic steel to the two strips in the upper part opposite the magnets. For a buyer from the United States, I will add free the adapter for the plug of charge (photo 7), and he will not need to remade the wire. Height 8.1" / 205 mm

Used in the 1940s with communications equipment in Western coalition countries. The country where it was made is not known exactly.
