Product Description

The Vintage Ship Aluminium Shaded Bulkhead Wall Light is a ship’s wall light with a shade over a solid aluminium cage, a threaded glass cover and a new solid brass E27 lamp holder. It fixes to the wall with its own wall plate.

The aluminium has a well-worn look, as if aged at sea, with a high-quality finish; the shades vary a little from weathering. Each light shows its age, with the odd mark or casting blemish, and the cages in particular have ridges and small marks. This gives every one its own story. The photos show a typical example.

Outdoor Use

The solid brass lamp holder has a special cover designed to IP56 (protected from dust and strong water jets), and the glass and cast cage protect the globe from water spray. These were originally stamped IP64, but polishing has removed the mark. It copes with exposed spots outdoors if it is mounted with the cage facing down and the wall plate is sealed to the wall with silicone.

Wiring

We supply an earth point so the casing can be connected to earth. Supplied for 230V only.

Vintage Ship Lighting

Our vintage ship lights are original fittings from ships broken up for recycling at the large ship breaking yards in Bangladesh and India. Many of these ships were built in Japan in the years after the war. We restore and rewire each light so it is ready for another lifetime of use. See the rest of our vintage ship lighting.

Globes
