Vintage floor standing Alusig traffic light

Era: 1950s Origin: U.S.A

These floorlights started their life in 1950s America. Converted from an original US 'Eagle' Alusig traffic light, now sensitively restored and mounted to a wooden surveyor's tripod. Featuring a polished aluminium enclosure with authentic cast manufacturer's marks, hood and bracket, and fitted with a prismatic glass screen. Ideal task lighting in lounges, lobbies, bedrooms and studies.

Origin: U.S.A

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.

Restoration

The light is mounted to a new polished aluminium bracket on the original instrument mounting plate, atop a waxed oak tripod. The bracket allows the light to be angled, while the tripod height can be adjusted.

Product details

The light is supplied tested and rewired with three metres of black braided cable, a new bayonet (B22) lamp holder, foot switch and plug.

A quick word from our customers

Great Lamp

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.

A piece of history

We found exactly what we wanted at skinflint: large industrial pendant lights from an old Dunlop Aerospace factory. They fill the space beautifully and we often get asked where they were sourced. With such heritage attached to them, they are like a piece of history that adds to the modern vintage feel we wanted to create.

Industrial style pendants

Our kitchen is now finished and the lights we bought from you are a perfect fit! We couldn't find a better match and your service has been fantastic.
