Bascule light
text:
A bascule light or tipping lantern was a type of small navigational aid popular in Denmark in the 18th century and before. It consisted of a basket in which wood or coal was set; this was then burned. The basket was affixed to a bascule that allowed it to be manipulated as required. The vippefyr system was generally viewed as ineffective, as it produced little light and was usually unreliable.
