Wall Lamp - Sconce Adjustable Lamp- Bedside Extension Boom -Articulating Industrial Brass Scissor Light Sb2

In 1893 a Dental Surgeon turned Industrial Designer introduced lamps in this style at the Chicago Worlds Fair. They were a great success, & became an industrial standard for the next fifty years. The style has staged a comeback recently - originals are highly sought after & several modern versions are now being produced! Heavy gauge polished steel arms, measuring 10 & 12 8 steel flat shade. Solid brass joints. The center joint allows the light to articulate fully. Solid brass U.L. rated socket with key-style rotary switch. Accepts a standard light bulb (E26 socket) Plug-in version (pictured) is wired with 9 feet (total) of twisted grey cloth covered cord & a quality polarized phenolic repro plug. The socket & wire are rated for 240V, so this light will work internationally with a change of plug or adapter. Hardwire version comes with a 5 cylindrical steel wall plate & mount screws. Cord routing is slightly different for hardwire, but still features the exposed cord loop between the arms. The dimmer versions are built with a dimmer insert inside the socket. They feature a knurled brass knob instead of the key-style knob pictured. The inserts are rated for US 120V supply only - they will not work with 240V. Light bulb is not included unless you are located in California (California orders ship with a CFL bulb.) All steel components ship with a high quality wax finish which will need to be replenished periodically to avoid corrosion. These extension lamps are extremely versatile - install one or a pair in your living or reading area, or as a bedside lamp! They can be posed any number of ways & provide excellent illumination. Form & function combined in a refined take on industrial style! Wall Lamp - Sconce Adjustable Lamp- Bedside Extension Boom -Articulating Industrial Brass Scissor Light Sb2
