Technical sheet - Electric votive lamps
One of the essential elements of a tombstone is the votive lamp, so Real Votiva catalogue includes a wide range of electric votive lamps for tombstones, tombs and ossuaries, made of bronze, porcelain and steel.
Votive lamps can be mounted on vertical surface (tombstone) or on horizontal surface (horizontal shelf, tomb or monuments). Lamps are available both in simple material like bronze, black or white porcelain and steel, or in various colours, such as chromium, mercury, glitter, marble. Many models are hand decorated or embellished with bronze finish and decorations, such as roses, vines, doves and gold decorations. All lamps are equipped with crystal flame and some can mount rosebud, heart, lily or tulip shaped crystals. Most of the bronze lamps are made with die casting technique; particularly beautiful and elegant are the cemetery lamps produced with the lost wax casting and shell moulding techniques.
All lamps can be combined with photo-frames, flower vases and accessories of the same product line.
These products are covered with a special coating that ensures weatherproof and are very useful especially for outdoors planted graves.
The lamps furniture include fastening material (bolts and nuts) but not electrical equipment (electrical wiring, light bulb socket, etc.).

Lamps sizes range from 13 cm to 25 cm in height (H).
