Boeing 747-400 Headlight Lamp
The Boeing 747-400 is the most popular model of the iconic jumbo jet. The -400, which rolled out in 1988, incorporates technological advancements such as 6′ winglets and a two-crew glass cockpit to enhance efficiency and reduce operating costs.
This artifact is a large floor lamp constructed from a pair of genuine headlights from a retired 747-400. Boeing’s craftspeople removed protruding parts from the headlight housing for safety; custom-fabricated a base plate from half-inch hot-rolled steel and a top cap from 1/8″ aluminium with a 3/4″ lip; replaced the electrical transformers and wiring; added two halogen sealed-beam headlights with adhesive window film on the surface to reduce brightness; and reinforced the structure with vertical supports.
The result is a sculptural piece with both practical function and historical significance. Certificate of Authenticity is included. Priced at USD 7,500.
