BANANA LAMP

75cm hanging lamp. (h30cm).

This is a real inflatable banana that has been transformed, by hand, using a special technique we originally pioneered with our Beach Ball Lampshades.

The outside is a real inflatable banana, with the blowhole visible, and all the crinkles and surface details that make it absolutely real. Whilst the inside has a thin 'rock-hard' shell, and is painted matt white.

This lamp is fitted with a 20W Bright White low energy fluorescent tube, and comes with 2m lengths of coloured suspension/power cable attached.

Each piece is hand made to order with a dispatch time of 3-4 weeks.

Please enquire for orders from outside the EU.

WHAT IS IT MADE OF?

The outer skin is made of a real PVC inflatable banana. We have pioneered a technique of spreading a thin polyurethane shell on to the inner surface of the banana to keep it inflated and hard.

The inside has a 'blackout' white spray finish so it is totally opaque. We apply a black rubber edge trim to finish it.

The electrical components come pre-attached, with two red coloured cables providing the hanging support. One of the two cables brings the power to the lamp.

IS IT STRONG?

Yes, its pretty tough. It weighs just over a kilo before the electrics are added, and the wall thickness is 3-4mm. It feels quite heavy in the hand, and it feels rigid and strong to the touch. However, a sharp corner, or spike would easily crack and break it - so it should be considered FRAGILE!

HOW IS IT PACKAGED?

The Banana Lamp comes boxed in a triple walled super strong cardboard box. It has internal cellular foam dampers in the box to guarantee it arrives in one piece.

HOW DO I HANG IT?

This lamp requires an electrician to mount it.

One of the two wires carries the power to the lamp, and must be attached to a suitably positioned mains powered ceiling rose. The second cable is aesthetically identical, but is purely for support. Therefore it too needs to a suitably positioned 'dummy' ceiling rose.

WHAT TYPE OF LIGHTBULB DOES IT USE?

This lamp comes pre-fitted with a standard 15W 30cm bright white, low energy fluorescent tube.

This is an easily replaced should you need to. You can buy them from any good electrical supplier.
