GALLANT VOLT METER - Black Phenolic
Designed after an early 1900s Volt Meter, its needle shows you the amount of current being supplied to the bulbs. The Gallant Volt Meter features three dimmable Edison bulbs arranged in line at its top. A rotary knob rheostat switch controls the level of light, from quite bright to just barely visible.
The meter needle actually measures the amount of AC voltage being delivered to the bulbs, from zero to the typical 110-120V household current depending on how much the light is dimmed or brightened. It does not test voltages.
This object is quite unique; few such of these handsome-looking instruments are still to be found, which is why we have designed and assembled our own version from new materials and components. It is ideal for an office, den, bedroom, living room or bookcase. It casts a very warm candlelight-like color, and can be bright enough to read by.
The Illuminated Gallant Voltmeter is operated by a brass rotary knob on the right to adjust bulb brightness. A separate toggle switch will turn the meter function off.
The device measures 14" tall (with bulbs), 5" wide and 3" deep, and is made of wood with a warm color. All electrical materials used are new and certified, and all connections are designed for safety and durability. The unit has been thoroughly tested for reliability.
