We've relocated the residential electric meter from its customary location outside the home, extracted and refinished its interior recording mechanism, and incorporated it as the centerpiece of a practical, fully-functional Lamp.

Turn on your Model I-30 Electric Meter Lamp and, through the crystal-clear acrylic viewing dome, watch as the meter itself comes to life. As delicate, precision brass gears slowly rotate, the meter pointer dials will sequentially advance, providing an ever-changing face to this unique memento of the electric power industry.

A three-way bulb (not included) provides three lighting levels with three corresponding meter recording speeds.

With its heavy, precision-cut, solid walnut woodwork, the Model I-30 Electric Meter Lamp is suitable for most general-purpose lighting applications, with tremendous people-stopping power.
