Whilst this item only cost a few pounds it was an essential element in being able to refurbish an old table/bedside lamp. The history of the lamp is only partially known but we do know that it was gift to my late father-in-law from a work colleague back around the time of WWII. It had been in storage at our home for many years and finally I got around to sorting it out and making it compliant with today's requirements. It is designed as a Lighthouse, hand turned with a carved base. The original switch has been replaced, it has been rewired using a bronze coloured three core flex, (this lamp fitting has an earth connection), the original two pin plug has been replaced with a modern three pin, and an appropriate nautical style lampshade has been fitted to the replacement Old English lamp holder. Due to the age of the lamp, the existing lamp holder was 1/2 inch and not the more common 10mm. Being able to find the precise quality and period looking product from Lampspares finished the project. Good delivery and short lead time. Will use again in future.
