1953 Vampire Aircraft Flame Tube Lamp with Oak Base

This lamp is crafted from a flame tube combustion chamber taken from a Nene jet engine, once used in the Vampire aircraft circa 1953. The component has been powder‑coated in a soft cream finish. This highlights its distinctive perforations and elegant industrial form.

Mounted on a hand‑turned oak base, the piece balances aviation engineering with timeless craftsmanship. As a result, it creates a sculptural light that feels both modern and historic. The lamp is fitted with an E27 screw light fitting and comes supplied with a colour‑changing bulb and remote. This allows you to adjust the ambience to suit your space. It’s completed with a standard UK plug for easy use.

When illuminated, the flame tube’s circular apertures cast a constellation of light — a gentle reminder of the power and beauty of flight, reimagined for the home.
