Green Money
An individual hand-built steampunk dimmable lamp, with green illuminated USB charging port, built with upcycled, antique or vintage parts including a port bottle box, zombie money box, brass radiator key, vintage voltmeter meter (working [ish]), brass garden tap, canal barge brass plaque, subdued upcycled green fibre optic submarine lighting below, reclaimed solid brass doorknob and a brass compass for those that are lost in life. Internally there are four different electronic modules : 30W 12V stabilised power supply, step-down electronics for USB charger, touch-dimmer module and power supply for fibre optics.
Touching the doorknob dims an Edison-style E27 bulb to brighten the corners of your bothy. It does not open a doorway to the other world. The artwork is about 55cm wide X 26cm high X 16cm deep and has decorative bronze feet, corner protectors and straps.
The green illuminated USB charger port, is powered by a 30 watt stabilised power supply.
Green illuminated bubbles flicker below the brass compass, which still works.
A beautiful green glow arrears below the unit, powered by subdued fibre optic lighting.
The vintage black bakelite voltmeter is made by Sangamo Weston who during the 1939-45 war provided measuring instruments, indicators and associated ancillary equipment for use on aircraft.
All other electrics and electronics are new. There are three electronic modules. The stabilised switching power supply, the step down electronics for the USB charger and the control circuitry for the touch dimmer. The slime green vintage fabric flexible twisted double insulated 2 core 1.5 metre cable is terminated with a black 13-amp plug, which complies with BS 1363. A mains switch is recessed on the left-hand side. An additional spare fuse is included. The other end is terminated with a black IP68 compression TRS cable stuffing gland. Really, we didn’t just make that up.
