Crestworth Phantom Lite | Vintage Excellence.

One of the most commonly found Crestworth fibre optics aside from the Galaxy, is the Crestworth Phantom Lite. It originally shipped in a pink box with a small diagram of the lamp on the top with the words Phantom Lite written at the top. The base is made features a copper finish and the fibre optics slot into the hole at the top. The Crestworth Phantom lite is a wonderful product. Thank you to my friend Jerome for pictures of his Phantom Lite, displayed below. Please see lamp, original box and packaging. To create the Super Phantom, Crestworth created a special base for the Phantom Lite, which turned the base into a sphere.

The image assortment below shows a wide range of images that relate to the Crestworth Phantom Lite. Firstly there is the copper base, this contains the motor, colour wheel and light fitting which powers the entire fibre optic light. The next shot shows the lamp switched on with the fibre optic spray placed into the slot at the center of the lamp's base. Further images on the right show the product with the original packaging box and the lamp with the spray mounted. The Phantom Lite is a very beautiful light when switched on and can produce some stunning lighting effects. Please see images below.

The beauty of the Phantom Lite is of course when it is displayed in the dark. The image assortment below show the wonderful lighting patterns and kinetic effects produced by the Phantom Lite. Please see the images below.

This further image below shows more of stunning kinetic lighting effect produced by the Crestworth Phantom Lite. Please see the image assortment below:

The Crestworth Phantom Lite shipped in a pink box with simple graphics, the images below show the graphic placed on the side of the product's box. Further to this Crestworth Ltd has been stamped on the side of the box. The simple illustration is in many ways very iconic of fibre optic lamps of this period and is a very simple yet elegant way of describing the lamp. Please see images below:

Crestworth Flowerlite.

The Flowerlite is a stunning Crestworth lamp that was manufactured from the same dark smokey perspex as the the Crestworth Galaxy, however features plastic fibre-optic flowers which rotate in a circular fashion. The flowers change colour as they rotate within the dark plastic casing. A real vintage piece and very few have been seen, unlike the Galaxy it has a cylindrical form. The height is appox 15 inches and the diameter is about 9 inches approx.

Twiggy | Magical Functional lighting.

Twiggy is described as "THE SENSATIONAL ALL-PURPOSE LAMP." Think of any situation where a flexible all purpose lamp could be used, then think of Twiggy. Twiggy is one of the very rarest Crestworth products. It is essentially an all purpose lamp with extreme functionality as you can keep on constantly changing the position and the form of the lamp by adjusting it. One can seek knowledge from the patent that was created for Twiggy.

However recently the owner and founder of the beautiful Flying Duck Retro Store that once traded in London, placed a Twiggy lamp for sale. Below one can see a the patent diagram for Twiggy, a real life model and of course the fabulous and unique Flying Duck Store. A big thank you goes to Carolyn from Flying Duck who kindly emailed in and took some lovely pictures of the Twiggy.

Aromalite | The Light that activates your senses.

The Crestworth Aromalite, is a product that shows Crestworth's magic as a home lighting leader in the vintage years. Aromalite was Crestworth's Aroma lamp that featured ornate glasswork, excellent craftwork to produce the stunning metal parts. When the lamp was switched on, it would glow through the ornate glasswork but the top part of the lamp had a well where circular fragrance pads could be placed. As the lamp was switched on, the heat from the bulb would activate the fragrance. The pads are no longer in production, however one can simply use oils at the top or on a cotton pad.

The amazing photos below show the glasswork, the component parts, the lamp on and the lamp when it is switched off. This is a genuine wonderful piece of Crestworth's history that is hard to find.

These wonderful photos of an excellent example of this lamp in pristine condition were kindly taken by: George Mensah of Retro Love Deluxe Ltd.
