An original Eagle Alusig converted American traffic light mounted on a wooden surveyor's tripod. A polished aluminium enclosure (featuring cast manufacturer's branding), hood and bracket. With a new etched glass screen creating an even diffusion of light when lit.
Unlike the communist Eastern Bloc countries, lighting design in mid-century 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.

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.

Lighting is critical to any room and when it came to putting the finishing touches to our vintage kitchen, we came to skinflint - and we found exactly what we wanted.

The lights definitely bring a sense of authentic character and history to the space. It's the truth when I say I had the lights before I even had final house plans!
