Upcycled/repurposed steampunk and industrial themed lighting. All with economical mains voltage LED lamps to help with your bill and save the planet!
I welcome custom orders and commissions so if you have something you would like making, repurposing or restoring, get in touch and let’s talk about what we could achieve.

A survivor of a bygone era, this old lamp showed its age and had been painted black by a previous owner, I’ve cleaned the old paint and rust off and given it a coat of modern high quality metal paint, incorporated new electric fittings and hung it from a conduit stand to bring it up to date and ready to bring its vintage charm to light your space.

Full description

A unique floor lamp built around a 1950s or 60s road works warning lamp. The lamp has had a hard life and has a few dents, some (stabilised) corrosion and two of the 3 red lenses are cracked/chipped. I have removed the old paraffin burner unit and cut a circular hole in the base to allow light to shine out downwards as well as through the red lenses. Then I installed an ES lampholder fitted with a 7.3-Watt LED bulb before giving it a fresh coat of quality metal paint in its original livery and mounting it on a stand I fabricated from 20mm industrial galvanised conduit with a toggle switch built in and the wiring running inside. The minimalist open design of the stand would allow the lamp to be placed over a table or similar and shine light down onto the surface.

A generous 6 feet/1.8 metres of new, period look, black braided flex fitted with a black British Standard plug with correct 3-amp fuse complete the lamp which would bring vintage charm to any space and evoke many memories.
