Leuchtpatrone 41

This provides sufficient illumination at night to see within a radius of 250 m, and the signal can be seen in daylight from nearly 4 km away.

The effect produced is a red star reaching a height of around 100 m and providing illumination for 6–7 seconds, making the signal visible in daylight from up to 2.5 km away.

Excellent overall condition.
