An impressive one-off feature pendant comprising of a set of five salvaged American traffic lights by Eagle Star. Converted for use suspended over a table or kitchen counter, the polished aluminium body has a sleek profile while new etched glass has been fitted to provide a diffused light.
Lighting design in the U.S.A. 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. Due to the location we rarely have the opportunity to reclaim and restore light fixtures from the U.S.A., but some of our perennial favourites are the old signal lights that adorned the highways of the midwest. We reconfigure and restore these timeless classics into functional pendant lights, for both residential and commercial use.
View all lights from U.S.AWhere possible we retain the original finish of a light - it is part of its history and emphasises its heritage. However, sometimes leaving a surface as we find it just isn’t possible. The aluminium enclosure has been refurbished by hand and polished on large rotating cotton wheels adding shine, grain and highlighting the casting details. Bringing out the light’s character through surface and patina. Fitted with three new etched glass screens, the pendant provides a nice diffusion of light when illuminated.
Each light is supplied tested and rewired with 5no. bayonet (B22) lamp holders, 2metres of elephant grey braided power cable, and ceiling mounting system.

Love the lamp - it is just what we needed to set off our new kitchen - will have pride of place over the breakfast bar. Excellent service from the company - was notified that delivery would be late by one day but was kept informed. Many thanks.

What a great light - we're really happy with it! Delivery time was really quick too. Will be purchasing other lights from you in due course.

Great light. It looks very smart. I was initially worried that it might be slightly big for the room (we don't have high ceilings) but it looks great and I am really pleased with it.
