Standard Firelamp

The standard Firelamp is light, compact, inexpensive and flexible enough to be mounted in a myriad different housings. It is available as a plug-in model with a transformer or as a wall or ceiling-mounted version with external electronics and connector block (see below).

The Firelamp is the basic flame console that fits inside all of our table and wall flamelight models — the plug-in version is perfect for bringing unused fireplaces to life and can also be battery operated.

The plug-in version can also be supplied with U.S. or European plug transformers.

The Firelamp uses a combination of a saffron-coloured flame and a multi-coloured bulb to provide a faithful representation of the spectrum of firelight colours. The filter on the bulb absorbs the shorter wavelengths of light (such as blue, indigo and violet) and transmits the longer wavelengths associated with fire (such as red, orange and yellow) and this not only gives the flame a multi-colouration but also allows flickering firelight colours to fall on adjacent walls and ceilings.

The Firelamp flame, and consequently that of all of the wall and table flamelight models, is a far cry from the usual vaguely triangular piece of silk which has many shortcomings. Our twin flame has two pieces of flame-shaped silk joined together around an oval-shaped metal band and brings its shape into something akin to a very floppy bishop’s mitre which fits right around the bulb, rather than being suspended above it. This makes it three-dimensional, much more incandescent (since the light has to shine through the fabric, not merely reflecting off its surface), and removes the sharp edges of the usual single flame. Best silk flame on the planet — honest guv.

The Firelamp has now been fitted with an all but silent fan — barely a whisper to be heard.

Firelamp with Red LEDs

This version of the Firelamp has been specifically designed for use in fireplaces, their most common home. The standard Firelamp gives a nicely fluttering flame with flickering firelight all around the inside of the opening, but what it has been missing is that red hot glow down at the base of the fireplace.

The addition of a string of red LEDs around the lower part of the Firelamp gives this glow and it is most effective when the red LEDs are partially obscured by logs, twigs, coals etc. (what you want to see is the glow, not the individual LEDs). If the pinpoint red light from the odd LED shows through its surroundings, you can plug the gap with a small piece of teased-out cotton wool to diffuse the light into a glow.

Wallmounted Firelamp

This version of the Firelamp is is for wall or ceiling-mounting, with external electronics (the larger transformer and smaller rectifier) and connector block.

The Firelamp is the basic flame console that fits inside all of our wall flamelight models and can also be supplied with a U.S. transformer.

The wall-mounted Firelamp uses the same bulb and flame confguration as the standard plug-in model above and is just as versatile for mounting in your own choice of housing.
