Alec burns Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 The headlight was originally manufactured by the Dietz Lamp Co. in New York, and the base was manufactured in Connecticut, as stamped on the cast iron under the base. I knew this would look perfect with the proper base, and was lucky enough to find a chrome lamp base from the 1920s. I took a solid aluminum bar and cut it to size for the inner shaft of the lamp base, and the set screw allows you adjust the height of the lamp. The bracket is bolted to a piece of wood fitted to an aluminum bar set into the base's shaft. There is also the original toggle switch on the back of the headlight to turn the lamp ON and OFF. The inside contains a step-down transformer, allowing the input of the 120V AC power source to be converted into a 12V DC current output. It is wired with a 6 foot long rubber cord. The bulb in the headlight is a new GE PAR46 12V Halogen bulb that is rated for a 350 Hour Life. $95 + Shipping Check it out here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/527246539/custom-constructed-vintage-antique Cheers!
