    Hello, and thanks for stopping by lumenowl!

    INTRO:

    This stunning, minimalist 1960's table lamp has been totally retrofitted and brought safely into the 21st century with all new components. Comprising of a sleek, small-footprint solid teak base with tulip shaped frosted glass shade (adorned with attractive ringing patterning), this effortlessly stylish mid-century lamp would be a fantastic addition to any similarly styled home.

    Pair the lamp with an E14 LED filament bulb or smart LED to create a fantastically versatile light source.

    ---------------

    CONDITION:

    Given its vintage, the entire lamp is in stunning condition.

    The glass shade has been removed, deep cleaned and restored to the base. Aside from very minimal fine surface scratches, there's no chips, cracks or abrasions which would otherwise be telltale marks of its age.

    The teak base has been gently cleaned and polished with a coat of beeswax, now shining up a storm.

    ---------------

    THE TECHNICAL BIT:

    URN has been fully overhauled electrically to conform to 21st century safety standards. In place of the original B22/Bayonet lamp holder (which was cracked and corroded internally) now has been installed a machine-milled brass E14/SES version, making the lamp compatible with bulbs sold in the UK and Europe. The lamp also now features an internal cord grip to keep the new cable safely and securely in place.

    URN has been rewired with luxurious quality bark coloured linen and rayon covered cable in a fantastic zig-zag pattern, featuring high quality white inline rocker switch 20cm from the lamp base (and a further 1m to the matching white UK 3-pin plug). The metal lamp holder is earthed using three-core cable, and the lamp has been thoroughly PAT tested and approved (with a sticker affixed near the plug to show the PASS status). Components comprise of a British-made and certified lamp holders and plugs, and Italian-made cable and switches, which have passed or exceeded relevant CE and EU electrical integrity tests.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can your lamps be customised for my country?

    Yes, absolutely! I ship worldwide, and I've already serviced many international orders. My lamps are fitted with either E14/SES or E27/ES lamp holders (which are usable with bulbs sold all over the world) and UK 3-pin plugs, but these can be swapped out to US E26/E12 Candelabra fittings on request for a small additional fee. A plug corresponding to your country will be added, and, if necessary, an inline on/off switch.

    Once converted, I will then test the lamps on a transformer and re-certify via an additional PAT test.

    Please simply choose the appropriate option from the "Country" dropdown menu at the top of each listing to have the lamp customised.

    Are your lamps safe?

    Extremely! Each of my lamps is painstakingly assembled (I have a long history of competency with electrical wiring), and subsequently certified. I am PAT qualified and accredited. Moreover, all of my metal lamps use 3-core cable to ensure a proper, safe earthing conduit.

    Please feel free to message me with any other questions.

    Can you make custom lamps? What if I provided you with a vase or bottle?

    One of the biggest joys of this whole endeavour so far for me has been problem solving each individual lamp I make.

    If you've got a vase, bottle (or other item!) lying around you'd like to see turned into a lamp, please do get in touch with me! I'd be more than happy to discuss with you your ideas and how we could best achieve them.

    Where did the names of your lamps come from?

    All the lamps I make (either individual or a series) originally were named after all the dog siblings I've had in the family over the years, or pups I've known over the years. As my collection has grown, I've started to use character names from my favourite films and TV shows.

    What happens if my order arrives damaged or broken?

    I'm extremely conscientious about packaging. In the unlikely event your order is damaged in transit and arrives to you broken, please immediately photograph both the packaging and the lamp istelf. Please then forward the images within 24 hours to tom@lumenowl.co.uk, and I will then assess and resolve the situation for you.

    Can you repair or rewire an old lamp I have?

    Yes, absolutely! I've already done this a couple of times. I can remove aged lamp holders, wiring and switches and replace with brand new variants. Once complete, I will exhaustively test and certify via a PAT test.

    Please drop me a message if you have any questions about this service, or would like a quote.
