Bike Bar Spots

Re-born on 7/4/15
Influenced by Toronto’s growing bicycle culture and the resultant availability of spare bike parts, these two brass-capped, aluminium spot lights have been polished and mounted to road bike handlebars creating an interesting directional lighting fixture. The spot-lights and handlebar offer amazing adjustability, so you can use this piece as a down light over a table or workstation, or tilt and angle the lights to illuminate collectibles, pictures, or wall art. Vintage braided twisted cable and fitting hardware included.

Maximum incandescent bulbs recomended - 40w each

Clamping Desk Light

Re-Born 1/19/16

A vintage sash clamp is the base and starting point for the design of this interesting desk light. The shade is an out-of-service, polished steel fire extinguisher and turned aluminium bushes allows the piece to swivel. Avoid wasting precious table space and pivot and tilt the light where you need it. The steel is protected in linseed oil, to maintain the finish you may wish to re-apply oil every 6-12 months. Finished with vintage powercord and retro inline switch max incandescent bulb recommended - 60w

Made In Canada Spotlight

Re Born on 12/23/15

Left with the bottoms of a few uniquely engraved gallon jugs we wondered where they could fit into a new creation. Then we realized the diameter of the jar fit snug inside the fire extinguishers that we had recently salvaged. The “MADE IN CANADA” engraving makes for a special touch on the bottom of the jar that now houses the light inside the fire extinguisher lamp. The base of the lamp is made up of the 2nd half of the fire extinguisher and a 8 inch cast pipe coupler. Brass detailings allow the allow the lamp head to be pivoted and flipped without moving the base and the lamp is finished with vintage cord and a 50,000 hour bulb which won’t heat up. The steel is protected with linseed oil, to maintain the finish you may wish to re-apply oil every 6-12 months.

Left with the bottoms of a few uniquely engraved gallon jugs we wondered where they could fit into a new creation. Then we realized the diameter of the jar fit snug inside the fire extinguishers that we had recently salvaged. The “MADE IN CANADA” engraving makes for a special touch on the bottom of the jar that now houses the light inside the fire extinguisher lamp. The base is made from a large porsche brake disk. Brass detailing allows the lamp head to be pivoted and tilted without moving the base and the lamp is finished with vintage cord and a 50,000 hour bulb which won’t heat up. The steel neck is  protected with linseed oil, to maintain the finish you may wish to re-apply oil every 6-12 months. The head is polished aluminium. Being a live finish you may wish to re-apply metal polish to maintain shine or watch the colouring change with age.
