Battlestar Galactica Lamp

As an admitted Battlestar addict, I could not refuse a request to make a Battlestar Galactica themed lamp.

Relive and remember what is (in my mind) one of the greatest television shows (Scifi or otherwise) in history!

On the first panel I have depicted the colonial seal, the symbol of the twelve colonies and eventually the rallying symbol for the men and women aboard Galactica. You can see a viper fighter beneath the seal with the phrase "So Say We All" trailing behind it. I just loved the scene where Adama announces that the fleet would survive and find the mythical 13th colony. Then rallies the troops with that phrase! great TV! Above the seal though we can see the threat to the survival of the species in the form of a Cylon raider.

The second panel shows a Cylon seal above a centurion with the phrase "We have a Plan" standing out beneath him. Now whether or not the Cylon plan includes a surviving human population is up for debate.

The next panel is one of my favorites, it depicts a relief of Starbucks famous wing tattoo. This image has become somewhat synonymous with both Starbuck and Battlestar Galactica in general. The tribal and techno styling that would normal contrast actually work really well to depict the complexities both of Starbuck the pilot, woman, and possible harbinger of death!

The final side panel shows a Cylon Centurion as he stands ready to attack the remaining humans.

Now the top is a great design, it shows what a viper squadron emblem might look like. We see the Mark 2 Viper with the phrase "Colonial Viper Squadron" encircling it.


Please understand that each lamp is custom made, so the wood grains or shade will vary from the picture. But I do work to make sure each side matches on any individual lamp. Each Lamp is approximately 6” on a side and 12” tall. Each comes with a 6’ cord with an inline switch. The socket is either for an E12 AKA candelabra bulb or a regular bulb (not included). The wire is rated to 75 watts but to avoid heat buildup only high efficiency CFL or LED bulbs around 5 watts (60+ Watt equivalent) should be used. The wood is 5mm pine or sandalwood ply with a rice paper backing to provide for a wonderful contrast. The wood ships unfinished to allow the natural grain to shine, But you can stain or otherwise finish the wood relatively easily to your liking. I designed them so that once the panels are slid into the base the base cannot be removed, but for bulb changing the top can be pulled off relatively easily. Each Lamp can be made and shipped usually within three days to a week of ordering. But that time really depends on how many orders I am working on. I ship using USPS priority with the US...I can ship internationally for special requests but the shipping rate will depend on the details.

The entire Lamp is designed to be flat packed for ease of shipping but is simple to assemble.
