1978

"Kamelyok" souvenir night light from the era of the distant seventies was designed to create an atmosphere of peace and home comfort. The body is assembled from the identical brass elements, connected by plastic corners using screws and nuts. The glow discharge lamp (with E27 base) flickers pleasantly when glowing, imitating the quivering tongues of flame. At that time, this lamp was very expensive. I bought it in those distant years as a gift to my grandmother on her birthday.

Sorting through the rubble of "very necessary things" near the garage, in a heap of ferrous metal I discovered several interesting objects of the USSR era. Among them there were two fixtures: one with an aluminum body, which looked very decent, and the other with an "iron" one and looked very wretched. As a fan of Soviet artifacts, I decided to give the second fixture a second life. I soaked the locks with WD-liquid, sanded the case, washed the shade, and under the layers of dirt and rust a Soviet industrial fixture NSP-02/P51-01-U5, produced in 1978, was discovered.
