That's called an ELBO-LITE part # S4889 made by Wipac in Buckingham UK.
It has an automatic switch built in so it comes on when you flex it
outward. I have no idea why, but I have a new one in the drawer next to
the computer. I think I got it from JC Whitney 25 years ago and never
installed it. I've been saving it for my 3000 when I get it done.
