This is a creative, upcycled lamp made from a variable transformer (Variac).
Here’s what you’re seeing:
•Base unit: The box at the bottom is a Regavolt variable transformer, which used to adjust voltage in electrical experiments.
•Dial: The large circular knob on top used to let you vary the output voltage now decor
•Terminals: The colored ports (red, white, blue, yellow, black, green) are connection points for electrical circuits.
•Light bulb: A decorative Edison-style filament bulb has been mounted on top instead of typical lab wiring.
💡 What it does now:
Instead of just being a lab device, it’s been turned into a lamp making it both functional and a cool industrial-style decor piece.
