Actually my Kollsmans are Euopean license builds (1 from Kollsman-
Germany and the other 2 from Kollsman-UK, and had been used in the
respective air forces). Those sextants have a 3 Volts lighting system.
28 Volts only go into the gimbal aircraft mount. Within it the voltage
is transformed into 3 Volts to go into the sextant. The usual method
(when not installed in an aircraft) is to use a modified flashlight
(instead of the bulb there is a connector for a cable) with 3 D-cells
(flashlights were provided in the storing case).
