Aviation Engine Lamp – Dart Flame Tube & APU Compressor Blade Design

This striking lamp transforms authentic aircraft components into a piece of functional art. At its crown sits an APU compressor blade, a sculptural nod to the precision of jet‑engine design. Beneath it, acting as the shade, is a Dart engine flame tube, its perforated metal surface allowing light to spill through in a constellation of patterns when illuminated.

The stand is assembled from gearbox parts and struts salvaged from a Westland Puma helicopter, combining mechanical strength with elegant symmetry. The result is a lamp that feels both industrial and refined — a celebration of engineering repurposed for modern interiors.

When switched on, the light dances through the flame tube’s circular apertures, projecting intricate shadows and reflections that bring warmth and movement to any space. The lamp is fitted with a colour‑changing bulb and remote control, allowing you to adjust the ambience to suit your mood. It plugs directly into the wall and includes an inline switch for easy operation.

Perfect for collectors, designers, or anyone drawn to the artistry of aviation engineering, this lamp embodies the Dappr ethos — heritage reimagined through craftsmanship and creativity.
