The
Extrapolator
The base of this lamp is a US military surplus device of unknown purpose, made of
cast and machined high-grade stainless steel, suitable for corrosive environments.
The center of the base is a precision bearing designed for heavy loads. The pivoting
motion of this base is used to turn the lamp off and on, with a 30-degree travel.
Connected to the base through a flexible gooseneck is a small explosion-proof junction box
fitted with a gate valve and dimmer. The lamp head is comprised of a high-purity air
filter for an industrial compressor. It is cast aluminum, with a Plexiglas cylinder
in the center in which two medium-base sockets hold a pair of long incandescent light
bulbs. The finish is black and sea green hammerite. This heavy-duty desk lamp
is excellent for reading or mood lighting.
