At each end of the casing, a metal bolt with attached metal bracket extends from the object.

The bottom light is green. “[logo] / Plessey” has been embossed onto the bottom corner of the casing. Behind the cover for the light, a silhouette of a person walking with one arm and one leg extended is visible
A thick cord extends from the back of the object. The cord has been cut revealing four coloured wires, one black, one blue, one red, one green.
