Bicycle light lamp

When bicycles began to be imported during the Meiji Restoration, people initially rode them at night with lanterns hanging from them, apparently because the bicycle lights that were imported at the same time were too expensive.

After that, I had them attach sockets and cords to bicycle lights, which were mainly made in Japan from the Meiji to early Showa periods, and turn them into small lamps that can be used indoors. There are a total of seven lamps, including battery-operated, candle clamp, oil lamp, and carbide lamp.

All of the bulbs are E-12 size, so they are not the main source of light, but they can be used as objects during the day and as indirect lighting to create an atmosphere at night.
