This quirky miners helmet lamp is the perfect nostalgia gift for a retired coal miner or a lover of our industrial heritage. Can you imagine the look on his face when you present him with such a unique piece of historical industrial decor. A coal miners style helmet with a lamp that turns on using the original switch together with an under helmet down light and illuminated coal that both give a soft glow.
The technical bit -
WE HAVE TWO OF THESE LAMPS THAT ARE VIRTUALLY IDENTICAL.
Made using an original vintage huwood helmet complete with a helmet light and vintage hand pick mounted on a pitch pine wooden base recovered from antique church pews.
This lamp is powered by a low voltage mains supply with an inline switch that operates an led light mounted in the underside of the helmet to give a gentle downward glow.
There is secondary lighting in the original helmet lamp fitted with torch style bulbs that operate by the original switch in two positions.
Finally there is an led bulb within the small coal pile to give an additional glow effect, operated by a separate push button switch.
All bulbs are replaceable and easy to source and spares will be included with each lamp.
Measurements approx
Base 33cm ( 13”) wide x 15cm (6”) deep x 33cm ( 13”) high
