Abstract: A marker lamp having a transparent cylindrical tube in which are mounted a plurality of incandescent filament-type bulbs spaced along the longitudinal axis of the tube. Either the outer or inner surface of the tube has straight striations or grooves extending longitudinally of the tube. When the bulbs are illuminated, there is formed in the tube a light halo centered on each bulb and lying in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the tube.
