Vintage linear lights salvaged from a factory in the Midlands, UK. Originally made by British manufacturer Victor, it has been converted for modern-day use with a new LED lamp and sensitively restored by our team in order to retain all of the original features - including the reflector which enhances downward light distribution.
Lighting design in the UK benefitted from a free market. Different companies were working at the same time, designing and producing similar products for the same market. Often with only slight differences in their style, they constantly upgraded and improved their original designs. The products we salvage come from the old industrial heartland of England. This area of the UK was once the boiler room of the British economy - from the potteries of Stoke, through the engineering works of Birmingham, to the wool, textile and cotton mills of Oldham and Manchester.

Our team has meticulously refurbished and preserved the original blue paint finish on the refined end enclosures, which also feature cast manufacturers detailing.
