It's a Type C2 Contact Light runway light fitting .
The C2 was introduced in 1941 and superseded by the C3 type in 1942, although installations of the earlier type continued until supplies were exhausted. Work to install Hibaldstow's Contact Lights was still ongoing in late 1943 for example.
See here for more info: www.airfieldresearchgroup.org.uk/forum/a...fittings-reappraised
