Manufactured around 1910 by Powell and Hanmer of Birmingham, England. The Dazzler is a carbide lamp powered by acetylene gas, produced when water, housed in an upper chamber of the lamp, drips into a lower chamber containing calcium carbide. The acetylene gas serves as fuel for a flame-the lamp's light source.Powell and Hanmer exported their bicycle lamp under the name "Dazzler".
