Product description
Philips table lamp, extensively modified by Industrial Re-designs.
Lamp made from the first adapter ever.
Philips manufactured the first (home) radio for private individuals in 1925.
This (type 2501) radio was battery-powered, but because the Netherlands was busy connecting homes to the electricity grid at the time, the question arose whether the radio could also be plugged into a wall socket.
Therefore, transformer/rectifiers were offered as an option, especially from 1927 onwards.
After this radio combination, Philips quickly switched to manufacturing (home) radios with built-in power supplies.
A short and unusual period, therefore, few of these nearly 100-year-old adapters remain.
Because the built-in power supply is no longer useful and safe in today's world, it has been completely removed.
A powerful (800-lumen Philips) LED lamp in an "Edison"-shaped glass bulb has been replaced. The left knob switches between off, two neon mood lights on, and (third setting) the LED light on (neons off).
The right knob beautifully adjusts the light intensity of the LED light.
In certain dimmed settings, the light may occasionally flicker; this is not a problem and perhaps even adds to the ambiance.
A total of five units were manufactured: four with a glued-in fixed LED bulb and one with a built-in E27 socket (this one has interchangeable (incandescent) bulb options).
Bakelite top plate.
Housing: sheet steel with a beautiful patina or newly sprayed hammered black finish (due to the condition of some units).
New cotton-wrapped and grounded connection cable (300 cm) with an old Bakelite plug.
Dimensions:
Case 20 x 12 cm.
Total height 26 cm.
Socket version with bulb 33 cm.
