Steampunk Lamps and Pipe Lamps

STEAMPUNK LAMPS AND PIPE LAMPS

Steampunk lamps are assembled from steam and machine age components, including pipes, gauges, gears, valves, bulb cages, sockets and other industrial hardware.

Steampunk is a sub genre of science fiction and sometimes fantasy that incorporates technology and aesthetic designs inspired by 19th-century industrial steam-powered machinery. Steampunk works are often set in an alternative history of the 19th century's British Victorian era or American "Wild West", in a post-apocalyptic future during which steam power has maintained usage, or in a fantasy world that similarly employs steam power. Steampunk perhaps most recognizably features anachronistic technologies or retro-futuristic inventions as people in the 19th century might have envisioned them, and may include fictional machines like those found in the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne.

These authentic steampunk lamps feature recycled vintage parts, and should not be confused with the growing proliferation of mass produced steampunk lamps made with factory reproduction components and new steampunk-like parts.

Steampunk Rocket Lamp with Cast Iron Pipe Fittings and Glass Bulb Protector

Imagine boarding this inspiring rocket ship waiting to take you on a distant journey. Plastic free real steampunk construction made from cast iron pipe fittings and pipes, with a metal cage and glass bulb protector.

3-way turn switch first lights only the cabin, then only the rocket boosters and finally both the cabin and rockets. INCLUDES the long tubular cabin bulb and 4 rocket flame bulbs.

15 inches tall x 13 inches wide.

Note the high-quality features not found in the copycat knockoffs:
-All metal and glass with no plastic parts.
-Bolted in sockets, not glued or epoxied sockets that can loosen from age or bulb heat.
-Proven reliable Leviton UL-listed candle sockets with spring loaded center contact, rather than low quality Christmas tree sockets
-Polarized plug and wiring for maximum electrical safety and UL compliance. Only UL listed electric parts.
-Robust rocket thrusters apparently capable of speedy intergalactic transport.
-No visibility of unsightly plastic bulb sockets.
-Deburred pipe fittings to protect wire insulation.
-Carefully abused bulb cage to tone down the shiny factory finish for a simulated vintage steampunk appearance.
-Sturdy plastic cord, rather than inappropriate fabric covered wire that requires delicate handling to prevent fraying.
-Minimal base and stem to focus attention on the in-flight rocket, not on the distracting grounded launch pad.
-Bulk and weight of other overly designed launch pads needlessly inflate shipping cost.
-Best of all, NO FLICKERING BULBS that become totally annoying after a few minutes.

This is the one you want for a century of safe, reliable operation!
