The Interior Light of Your Grandfather Clock

The Clock Depot — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 19:37:37 +0000

This will be helpful to those who wish to repair or add an interior lamp to their grandfather clock. Most interior lamps are mounted at the top of the grandfather clock with the shade pointed downward. This illuminates the weights and the pendulum of the grandfather clock in low light. It is a nice effect.
Begin by removing the glass access panel on the right hand side of the grandfather clock.

Side access panels may be held in place with a clip located on the inside of the clock. Turn the safety clip on the inside of the clock holding the panel in, to release the side access panel.

To remove the side access panel,

1) Lift the panel up and push it in towards the inside of the clock and completely separate the panel from the clock frame.

2) Tip the panel at a slight angle and pull it out through the side access frame opening.

Looking upward in the right hand access panel.

**Looking upward in the right hand access panel, you may see how the lamp in fastened to the inside of the grandfather clock**

There are two screws that hold the lamp to the back of the Grandfather Clocks

Removing the screws on the grandfather clock lamp

Simply “pinch” the collar on the shade to compress the ring and the shade can then be easily removed from the grandfather clock lamp.

Inline rotary switch for the grandfather clock lamp

The grandfather clock uses an Inline rotary switch for the grandfather clock lamp which is part of the line. The other end plugs directly into the wall.

Using the images above, it should be simple to understand the installation of the lamp in the grandfather clock. Lowes or Home Depot usually have the tubular light fixtures available if you should wish to add the illumination the your grandfather clock that did not have one installed at the factory.

Hi Robert,

Just wanted to say that the Loricron floral dial chiming anniversary clock arrived in just two days. It was packaged securely and I am absolutely thrilled with it; not only the petite size, but the chiming and also the pretty dial.

And your service was impeccable.

I will recommend The Clock Depot to my friends, you can be sure of that.

Everything I was looking for in a good wall clock

Customers — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 11:38:16 +0000

Thank you, Robert.

We received the clock the other day and I have to say I LOVE IT! The background illumination is excellent and it’s silent.

Rhythm Illuminated Wall Clock glows only when the light is dim.

It’s everything I was looking for in a good wall clock. I can’t wait to show it off to family and friends. Very unique clock! I might have to get another one some day just to see if I can change out the LED’s to a different color. I’d love to have a red/greed/blue backlit clock.

Have a great day,
