Atlas Red and Green Coloured Pygmy Lamps

From experience with bigger MOD lamps of red and green, they are much heavier than standard lamps. The red especially as it used genuine ruby glass. While machine indicators are a possibility. I believe they were also used for navigation lamps as it's vital for the to retain their colour; so a lacquered lamp won't work.
