This incredible desk / table lamp is not only a fully functional lamp but also a stunning piece of art.
This is a converted medical heat lamp originally made in the 1950s by English manufactures Pifco. The lamp is made up of a polished aluminium shade with ribbed detailing mounted on a brushed and lacquered cast steel base.
When we found this lamp the paint was in poor condition so rather than restore it to it's original look we completely removed all of the paint and gave it a polished finish. All of the metal parts of this wonderful lamp have been clear powder coated. This gives a hard resilient finish that will last for another 70 years ! There are some minor marks on the dome but this is 70 years old after all and these do nothing to detract from the beauty of this lamp.
Electrically, this lamp has had all new components, including a custom made bulb holder that allows the lamp to use a wide variety of E27 bulbs. The lamp has a generous 1.5mtr power cable and an inline switch. All of our lamps are professionally wired and are fully earthed.
The light comes with a 40w Edison Radio Valve bulb. This gives a beautiful soft white light from the front .
What makes this lamp unique from any other conversions that I have seen is that we have been able to retain the original safety cage. If you want to use a small bulb (supplied) you can do it with the cage in place. If you wanted to use a much larger bulb then you can remove the cage. The last pictures show's what its like if you use a different bulb.
When lit the light looks stunning and the rings of the reflector look amazing. The photos really don't do it any justice at all.
The dome on this Lamp can also be angled downwards allowing you to highlight an object or area with the lamp
This is not just beautiful light but a great piece of art that is guaranteed to be a conversation piece for years to come!
This lamp has the following approximate dimensions:
Height 42cm
Depth 23cm
Width 24cm
We make products that are as unique as you, so if you don't see a light that you like then let us make something just for you. We are happy to work on commissions both large and small.
