Vintage Camera and Musical Instrument Lighting
Are your lights made out of real cameras?
Yes, each camera light is a real vintage camera that has been cleaned and visually restored. It’s the model of camera profiled in each story card. The camera is no longer functioning. We partner with various camera and antiques dealers nationwide to find cameras that will look awesome as a light but can no longer take pictures.
Most of our cameras have been sitting in an attic or basement for 50+ years and we lovingly visually restore it with the following:
- Removal of nicotine, mold, mildew with various solvents
- Dissemble and clean the lenses and optics
- Metal polishing using various cleaners and polishing agents
- Leather cleaning, repair and conditioning
Is the electrical new?

Are Your Candles Eco-Friendly?
Absolutely! Soy wax is a natural and sustainable resource. The wax is 100% biodegradable and breaks down harmlessly. Soy wax has numerous benefits over paraffin. Paraffin is a byproduct from crude oil which is non-renewable.
Soy candles are better in that they burn slower, so your candle lasts longer! Also, soy wax burns cleaner than paraffin and results in less soot.
