The story
In the 1950s the Swedish Army issued field work lamps in wooden crates, so soldiers could set up light quickly in the field. The lamps carry the NIFE stamp of the Swedish battery maker. Here two of those crates and lamps have become one piece.
The restoration
We refurbished the spotlights and parts of the crates, rewired the lamps with G9 fittings and added a 2 m cord with EU plug. The pendant hangs on a chain of adjustable length. We made only one.
