Wondering if there were any specs for having those with parking lights or none.

Is the Lucas Maxlite correct as a Blackout for the early 8" lamp?

Thanks for your comments.

Isn't it funny they call it a "MAX" light when it's a blackout mask?

I'd guess that they're called a 'Maxlite' because they allow the maximum light through whilst complying with the blackout regulations.

Henri, you refer to the 'early' 8" light - in fact the services, particularly the army, continued with the manilla paper masks well into 1941 and this was the cause of correspondence in the motorcycle press from civilians complaining that they were being warned for having masks which did not comply with regulations.

I had an idea that the masks with the brand name were those sold on the commercial market.

yes indeed!!i didhtn realise this so far!! max-light!! i dont know for you out there,but here in greece we call also lucas-prince of darkness!!!
