Description

Add some automobilia style to your home, a classic car themed table lamp based on a 1970s period aftermarket performance air filter with a vintage metal RAC badge as a touch switch, it would make an ideal bedside lamp. I have cleaned the NOS chrome air filter, which does have a few marks as evidence of many years on a motor factor’s shelf, and mounted it on a 1-inch (25mm) diameter chrome tube leg. The leg is bolted to a French polished wooden base, made from two pieces of old floorboard, which houses a touch dimmer unit which is activated by touching a vintage metal RAC badge; touch once to switch on dim lighting, touch again to brighten, touch a third time to full brightness and a fourth to switch off – see the video. Power is supplied through 2 metres of black fabric braided flex fitted with a black 3-amp fused UK plug. As always from Steampunk Creative Engineering, all electrical components are brand new and the unit is safety tested and certified UKCA compliant. Features; 12”/31cm tall 4.5”/11cm wide 8”/20cm deep Felt feet to protect your furniture 230v ac mains operation Brand new electrical components 5W SES LED touch dim bulb supplied 2 metres of new black 3 core fabric braided flex Black plug with correct 3A fuse Fully safety earthed Safety tested and certified UKCA compliant Highly decorative table lamp Complete, tested and ready for prompt dispatch Delivery included

I bought a job lot of vintage NOS aftermarket air filters, this lamp uses one as a shade and a vintage RAC badge to operate a touch sensitive switch hidden in the base, an idea I’ve been thinking of for a while finally brought to fruition.

Every lamp I make is individually safety tested before being offered for sale
