South Deep - Unique Wood Lights

𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞

It’s nearly here and we’ve just finished the last few lights and shades for the Oak Fair at the end of this week.

This pair of smaller lights are designed to sit on a bedside table or bookshelf. The Farne, from our Cabin range, is in a lovely Dorset-grown Oak. It’s fitted with one of our ivory, fabric cords and finished with a nickel plated, E14 bulb holder.

The Furzey, one of our new Island range lights, is made from a piece of character Yew. It’s perfect for a nursery as it provides a safe, dimmable light and the globe is shatterproof. It runs from a 12v power supply so can be used on a boat or in a caravan.
If you would like a preview of this pair, check out the Cabin and Island Collections on our website at:

Or better still, meet us at the Oak Fair this coming weekend, Saturday & Sunday 29th & 30th August.
Thanks for viewing.

We’re just finishing off the last sets of lights in preparation for the Oak Fair at the end of this month.

This pair are Portlands from our Classic range of lighthouse inspired lights. One is in spalted London Plane and the other is in spalted Beech. I’ll let you decide which is which. Standing at over 41cm tall to the bulb holder these are quite substantial table lights. So if you’re looking for a statement piece in your lounge or hallway one of these could be the answer.

We’ve not posted for a few months but we have been busy creating some new contemporary lights. This one is a Furzey Island Globe in a gorgeous piece of Dorset-grown Walnut, featuring some rather special figuring. To add character it’s been turned with the end grain running side to side, it normally runs top to bottom.

This globe light is designed to be a nursery light or bedside light for the elderly. It features a warm white, dimmable, low voltage multi-chip LED and 150mm, acrylic, matt-finish globe. This combination gives a lovely soft glow. Being 12v it can also be used in a caravan or boat running off batteries and the acrylic globe is shatterproof for extra safety. It comes complete with rotary dimmer, plug-top power supply, globe and G9 450lm LED bulb.

The recent change in the weather to cooler and damper conditions makes wood finishes using oils and waxes much trickier. But we were very pleased with the way these Drove Islands turned out so we thought we’d share them with you. The clean and simple lines with hidden bulb holder has proved very popular since we started making this style. The locally sourced Oak used for the lights shown here has some particularly nice grain features.
We think they have a contemporary vibe so we’ve used our round, kiwi-green fabric cord and they work well with a visually striking bulb, like the led cluster shown here.
This particular one has just been sold but if you’d like to see similar bases please check out the ‘Island family’ on our website https://www.southdeeplights.co.uk/island-light-collection

Hello everyone, Luna here again, I bet you thought I’d forgotten about you. It’s been a thoroughly enjoyable summer for me, I hope you’ve had a good one. In fact that’s the main reason I’ve not posted for some time. The weather has been fabulous with long warm days, still nights and very little of the wet stuff to dampen my fur. Personally I’m not a huge fan of rain as it makes me go frizzy and I have to spend hours straightening and drying things out.
But I love the garden room the staff built for me. It allows me to be outside in the fresh air and I can also be sneaky and keep an eye on the wildlife. Although some air conditioning might be a useful addition as it can get a bit too warm in the afternoons. I’ll have a word.
I’m slightly embarrassed about these pics as I’m not looking my best. These were taken on a particularly warm day and it was as much as I could do to get my head off of the cushion. Plus I’d only had 6 hours sleep, that’s barely a catnap!
Anyway, autumn’s here now and things are already starting to cool down. Soon the garden room will be a memory and I’ll migrate back to the house to relax my 15 Tog, duck-down duvet. Well, one needs a little luxury in one’s life. As I write this dark clouds are gathering again and thundery showers have been forecast. It looks like serious rain is on the way so I’m off, did I mention I don’t like rain?
Thanks for viewing, have a great autumn and bye for now. Luna.

You may have noticed from an earlier post that the Stock Gaylard Oak Fair is almost upon us, in fact this coming weekend, the 23rd and 24th August (check out https://www.theoakfair.com/). But a rather lovely piece of English Walnut was calling to me from the workshop and we just managed to complete it in time.

This Headland Peveril is from a Dorset-grown tree and features some beautiful grain patterns and heartwood colour variations. The elevated bulb holder and large square base makes this a fabulous statement light and ideal for a lounge or hallway. To complete the sophisticated vibe we've used our twisted, black fabric cord, nickel plated fittings and a black plug and switch. We hope you like it.

Thanks for viewing, and if you’re coming to the Oak Fair please drop in and say hello.

We’ve been meaning to introduce this new style for a while, but up to now it’s been difficult to source the right timber. Fortunately, our friend Sam at Zephyr Sawmills (https://zephyrsawmills.co.uk/) in North Dorset came to our rescue and we’ve been able to complete our first Headlands, just in time for the Oak Fair.

This first one is the Peveril, in a rather lovely and substantial block of Sequoia. This Giant Redwood grew in Dorset but sadly met it’s demise in a storm. It’s got an intriguing knot in the top face which extends through one corner and we think it adds real character to the light. It’s a statement piece, standing just over 370mm tall with a footprint of 140mm by 90mm. For a slightly retro vibe we’ve fitted it with a polished chrome E27 bulb holder on a stem, with our dark grey, twisted fabric cord and black plug and switch.

We’ve got some locally grown Oak and Walnut waiting, so hopefully we’ll be able to add one or two more for the show in a couple of weeks’ time.
As usual the new lights are on our website at: https://www.southdeeplights.co.uk/
We hope you like the new style and thanks for viewing.
