Vintage British wall lights with a vitreous green enamelled shade and bracket. Originally made by REVO the lights feature their original embossed manufacturer's logos and cast steel galleries, mounted to a new power-coated steel swan neck bracket.
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.

These lights have been sensitively restored and refurbished, we also take the time to investigate its history, studying old catalogues for clues and assembling the whole story. The extract shown, from our manufacturer's catalogue archive, is taken from the 'REVO: Electric Lighting Equipment' dated, 1940.
Each light is supplied with a new screw (E14) lamp holder. (If you would prefer an E12 lamp holder for use in the USA, please just ask).

REVO was founded in the early 20th century and became a household name in the 1930s, when electric street lighting was widely introduced throughout the UK. Based in Tipton, Staffordshire, REVO engineers were famed for their creativity, often developing styles of lighting individual to the towns for which they were designed. This means that whilst there are a wealth of classic REVO styles, from prismatics and enamels to machinist lights and bulkheads, there are also some incredible individual rarities to be found.
