This is a converted medical heat lamp originally made in the 1950s by the English manufactures Pifco. Pifco made a range of high quality medical products in the early 20th century from their manufacturing base in Failsworth near Manchester. This lamp is made up of a polished aluminium shade mounted on a brushed and lacquered cast steel base.

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 and some pit marks in the clear coat but this is 70 years old after all and these do nothing to detract from the beauty of this lamp. (See Last Picture)

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 2 mtr 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 warm white light from the front .

What makes this lamp unique from most 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 you can remove the cage.

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 British Mid Century lighting 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
