A former service light adapted with restraint. Railway and signalling lamps belonged to a world of visibility, safety and daily handling, not living-room display, and that history still sits in the object. These were lit, carried, hung, checked and refilled as part of someone's shift.

The thick original glass visibly distorts the bulbs behind it, the lid still opens as it was meant to, and the base has only been altered as far as needed to return it to use. Which department it served is left open, but the world it came from is not: transport, utility, duty and repetition. Rewired by KOBK and tested and tagged for domestic use by a licensed electrician, otherwise honest to its working life.
