Like the Jesus Christ Lizard and Russian Dragon, this explosion-proof fixture was probably manufactured in the Soviet Union. It consist of a cast aluminium casing fitted with a caged glass dome. We featured it with a newly fabricated one metre long extension rod. Like many explosion-proof lights, this round well glass lamp was especially designed to be used in buildings with hazardous materials, such as bunkers, ammunition storages, or constructions for military purposes.
These fixtures originate from a small military complex north of the German capital Berlin. They were mounted to the ceiling of an underground tunnel complex, that was most likely used for the storage of weapons and ammunition.
The Frilled Lizard comes with a 42 watt E27 halogen bulb, a 1 meter long steel rod, 1,5 meter of matt black cable, and its passport describing the history and origin of the lamp. Upon request, the extension rod can be adjusted to a desired length.
